Hi All,
I am looking for some suggestions on soft rubbers, similar to but cheaper than Xiom Vega Europe.
Vega Europe is actually good value itself, but I was wondering if I could find something similar at a lower price.
Just some additional info about myself. I would say I am an intermediate-level player.
I recently changed the grip from shakehand to RPB penholder. Still experiencing and I might eventually go back to shakehand grip.
I feel that so far playing penholder is helping me to improve my attacks with the forehand (or to be precise, to get in the right mindset to use my forehand to attack), and also the RPB feels great.
The main issue I am facing is with backhand blocks.
While when playing shakehand I feel comfortable using a relevantly hard rubber (razka z) on my backhand, with RPB I find it very difficult to execute blocks and control the hits from the opponent.
That's why I am after soft rubbers.
I am currently using a YEO7 power but I might consider swapping to Sanwei Fextra (which is the blade I already use when playing shakehand)
Cheers
