Sorry guys. I know I've been MIA. But here I am.
As far as I am concerned, slower rubbers is not what you want. Yep I said that.
What you would want is a slower BLADE. A blade slow enough so you could use something like a tensor rubber. You could use a more control oriented tensor like like the Xiom Vega series.
You could also use Chinese rubber.
But you want some rubber that is good for looping and for learning to loop. Because higher level play comes from learning how to create and use heavy spin. As you learn how to create heavy spin, you will learn how to counter heavy spin. Those two skills are learned side by side.
So, an All+ to Off- blade with good dwell time, maybe some flex, good for spinning the ball, yes. Slow rubbers? Not unless you mean H3. [emoji2]
It is worth learning to spin the ball. And the longer you delay using modern rubbers, the longer you will delay really learning the art of spinning the ball.
And before Der_Echte tries to say he is saying this before NextLevel gets to say it:
"I like putting heavy topspin on the ball."
