Step up from the fastarc G1

[ber]

Currently I'm using G1 max on the FH, and I've read a couple of threads about G1 alternative; G1 to hybrid but i'm still not so sure what would suit me. The 2 rubbers that i plan to replace G1 on FH is Stiga Mantra Pro H or Andro Nuzn 50, It would be nice to know which rubber is better in counterlooping, looping backspin and perhaps in the short game, which is more durable also.

It's going to be paired with Hl5

I've been told Tenergy 19 is "Like G-1 but better".

Oh really?

It's not, really. T19 is softer feeling, springier and much more spin sensitive. Given G-1s topsheet I'd sooner suggest a Dignics type

Yeah Id say Dignics or Nuzn could be good choices, also durability is better than the tenergies

 

[Grahf]

you could go with nittaku own evolution of the G1, the genextion or the genextion v2c, if not I would say the nuzn its the best choice

Dignics 05 felt almost identical to me, but that's just what I heard. Don't believe everything you hear I guess!

Pro H and N50 are different pathways from G1. N50 is like a semi-hybrid, it is deader and a bit more sensitive to spin on passive contact, but it has excellent grip/spin and is very predictable imo. Pro H is nontacky and very conventionally Japanese style, it has less grip and less dwell than N50 but it is lighter and has a more transparent feeling, as well as being faster and more direct in block/counter/open game.

I went from G1 to Rakza Z.
Its slower on passive shots and it's sticky (not H3 level sticky), but still has a little catapult.
I'm enjoying the switch, especially for serves

Dignics 05 or Nuzn 50

If you're already consistent with the G1 then you should be fine with either.

05 has higher speed ceiling, but also a bit more unforgiving.
