Spinny rubber with low-throw angle on FH

This user has no status.
Hi, table tennis enthusiasts!

I am using Donic BlueGrip C2 max on my FH and need advice on a similar rubber with a lower throw angle when hitting top- and side-spin shots from any distance. without losing the C2 speed.

My preferred choices would be one of these two:

  1. Tibhar Hybrid K3 max
  2. Xiom Omega VII Pro max (tried one time, and it looks like the angle is lower if compared to C2)
I tried Nittaku Fastarc G-1 and it felt like the same throw angle as C2.

Please do not suggest Butterfly and DHS rubbers.

Thanks

Have you tried Nittaku Fastarc G1?
Lowish throw in my experience but may be higher than your Donic since I've never tried it...

  1. Original post updated with what I tried
  2. How is the durability of Rakza 9?
  3. Medium throw angle in https://revspin.net/rubber/yasaka-rakza-9.html plus one review with medium high. Six reviews with low throw angle/arc in https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/yasaka-rakza-9 4.3 vs 7.1 in https://revspin.net/top-rubber/spin-desc.html GREAT RECOMMENDATION!
The durability of the Rakzas is very good so I don't expect 9 will be any different.
I have played R7, RX, RXs and RZ (and played a few of them to their threads) and all have been good for a yr of 2 hrs 3 times a week...
Incidentally I put an old R7, X and Z on blades to experiment during the summer off season and all are still playing great despite being over a yr old with at least 6 mths of play each...

Xiom Omega 7 Ying.. coz only an ESN degree hardness of 60 will do on awesome and powerful FH. Super low throw product with no trampoline effect. You will need pure manly muscle to make the shot. You will immediately feel your manliness restored 100%. It's totally worth it.

if you like the speed and nearly a bit lower throw (in my opinion) without the tackiness i would try the Hammond Z2
Also the sponge is slightly softer,and all in all i find the Hammond a tad faster,and the ts is firmer.
Have you used the Hammond Z2?
I found it softish (relatively for FH at least) and also found a high throw angle. I'm surprised you would consider it low throw. What are you comparing it with in this regard?

yes on Bh and FH,it has somewhat a similair throw angle than the C2 i find it a bit lower,but it also depends on which blade i played it.I dont know exactly what you mean by that last question,i thought its about the C2?
I found it faster,comparable spin if you play waccording to a tackiy sts vs a real grippy one and i found it faster than the C2.
Yes the PSPonge was asofter but with a firmer TS i found the compostion all in all not Softis´h but in that 50-52.5 degree range whereas i found the C2 all in all softer than the 55^suggest.
Sr double quoted ,dunno how to undo

Ah yes, I hadn't understood that you had played the C2 also, I may have missed that bit. I was curious because I got to try the Hammond Z2 for about an hour last month. I really liked it, great BH rubber for me. I thought the throw was highish but am not comparing with C2 as I haven't tried it. Highish to me V Rakza X and 7, comparable with Rakza Z I thought. It all depends on blade and technique too though eh.

Stiga Mantra XH. Great rubber with great durability. Also, try Palio AK47.

Why aren't you interested in DHS, though? This is obviously the best choice for spinny low-throw rubbers.
