The bsest looping and attacking rubber?!

The best looping and attacking rubber?!

Which is the best looping and attacking rubber?!

I'd say the ones im using right now Donic bluefire m1 turbo. I use it on my Boll Spirit. Simply amazing!

 

[TTHopeful]

Nice bat you have there! Are the rubbers soft or hard? I may try this on the backhand.

That bat looks brand new. Nice bat. How much have you used it? It looks like the rubbers were just cut.

I think there are soooooo many good rubbers. I don't think there is a such thing as best because everyone is a bit different so that something that works well for one person may not for another. When you have something that works for you, stick with it till you find something better.

One thing I have noticed, before the poly ball, top pro players regardless of who they were sponsored by, most of them were using Tenergy at least on one side if not both. People sponsored by Stiga, Donic, Tibhar, Andro, all got caught with photos of them at major tournaments using Tenergy.

Since the poly ball, I think some rubbers have come out that grab the poly ball better and give better spin on the poly ball. But I don't think anything has as good a sponge as Tenergy.

Right now I am using Victas V>01 Stiff because the topsheet is amazing. The topsheet grabs and spins the ball better than anything I have felt. Better than Tenergy. But Tenergy's sponge is still better than Victas.

In the end though, it all comes down to personal preference. I personally don't love H3 but it is darn spinny and some people love it.

Thanks!! They are not hard, not as hard as hurricance 3, a little bit softer. Medium ++ is a good description i'd say. I played with Haifu whale II rubbers before so this was a really nice upgrade for me.

I've played with the H3 neo and i like it alot but this is another level!!

It's very personal what rubber you like the best.. For me it is Tenergy 05 in the forehand, but the 25-fx in backhand. Before the new ball I'd say Tenergy 05 still in forehand, but the Bryce Speed in backhand

 

[TT4Life]

If u r playing Chinese style loop, National 3 Neo blue sponge is the best rubber

 

[decoy]

MFW people still ask whats the best.. when everyone has a different reaction to the copious rubbers in existance

 

[TareqPhoto]

If i talk about only FH loop, then i have used only 2 rubbers and both proved to be good enough, Tenergy 05FX on JM blade and 9000E on N-11, but that from what i've seen from those 2 rubbers, it is like the following:

Tenergy 05FX = fast, best from med to far from table
9000E = slow, best for close to the table and so so for med or far unless more power added which i don't like to do all the time

So, i was thinking of a rubber that can be in between, not so fast as T05FX but not slow as 9000E so i can play for close-med table without much power to use and safely have the ball on table, but i am not sure if the rubber is the only factor here or type of the blade may affect the loop too.

Everybody has their own preferences so the M1 turbo might work amazing for you but maybe I will hate it (havent played with it so I cant judge).

Come on Tareq, you say you have only used to rubbers for forehand. How could you talking about what they best rubbers are for attacking with speed and spin based on that limited experience?

I think this would be an interesting thread for you since you are learning about equipment. But why would you want to talk like an expert based on just buying a racket a few months ago.

Lol
A few months ago he was just askin for a set up, now he recommends.. next thing you see he is already teaching. 🙌

Mainstream looping rubbers are well known, but for those who have the chance to test the Gewo Nanoflex 48 (pretty much unknown ESN rubber and hard to find outside of Germany, they appeared in France only a few weeks ago).........give it a try, you will be surprised by it if you are looking for maximum speed and spin with the very special speed glue feeling. Unfortunately the price is just the same as any last generation ESN rubber. It only comes in 2.1mm tickness unfortunatelly.

I won't recommand softer verisons of Nanoflex BTW.

I agree with you, " When you have something that works for you, stick with it till you find something better. "
Right now this works really well =) It would be fun to try the Victas V>01 Stiff in the future

Yeah it's brand new!! Used it like 1 or 2 training sessions only when i took the picture

 

[TareqPhoto]

I didn't recommend and i never mention the word recommend in my post above, i just talked about my experiences even if it is for 1 day, some put review even after 1 week or 2, so why not me? and it doesn't need to be 1 year or longer to figure out about the rubber characteristics, but it is like some can post whatever they like even for first time use and other shouldn't because they are new.

Anyway, i talked about Tenergy 05FX because it is truly a nice rubber, it is fast to me or not is not a fault of the rubber, as many said, a rubber that may work to you may not work to me, but even with that i don't put down Tenergy rubbers anyway.

About 9000E, it is not my recommendation rubber as well, i bought it because someone recommended it to me, so if he is not good in recommendation why i should buy it? and why shouldn't i recommend a rubber if others recommend it too? or is recommendations only for experts and long time users?

Good i tested only 2 rubbers[basically 3 if different Tenergy rubbers], i wonder those who tested many what was their goal for testing many rubbers first place?

Maybe Tareq is talking out his tail, maybe not.

When I first started interest in TT, I was maybe average club level for starters and after I tried several different blades and rubbers, I was on TT forums talking about it passionately and a reasonable person of the side (like say Carl) could have sen my posts and said the same thing. Yeah, If Carl saw me in my early forum posting days and knew I was only average US club level those days, he would have had a few laughs at my expense and could have said some things to me. (with good justification)

As it is, I talk a lot and sound like I know my business, and I do, but I am only a few levels above average. If one looks at what I say, one would get the impression I am many levels higher level player than I am.

That is not the case, I just have a decent bullcrap filter and some firsthand experience and have been in places to see some other stuff, that is all the difference with me.

There are many forumers and TT coaches who will never agree with a lot of what I believe and that is OK with me, I am not the Alpha and Omega of the TT world. I do have a lot more experience and energy than many my level though.

I don't dispute that BFT's top end speed is higher. However, H3 Neo is a rubber that has more gears, and thus allows to produce shots with a far wider variety of speed/spin ratio. It also beats any tensor/tensioned rubber in the short game and serving department. Finally, it produces a different arc when looping as compared to something like BFT or Tenergy - which is a huge advantage when your opponents are only used to Tenergy-style loop arcs.

I agree that those that are only used to "Tenergy-style loop arcs" will be at a disadvantage!
Tough the M1 turbo dosen't feel as fast as Tenergy 05 I think.

I've heard the M1 Turbo is faster than 05 though. I am not used to the "Tenergy-style loop arcs" I did not use it for long, but I did try the Tenergy 80 for a few days. (although I've heard that is also a controversial/discussed Tenergy rubber compared to for example the 05 lol)
But comparing to that, I liked Jp 01-Turbo's arc way better, which is what I'll consider my favourite for now. :L
Used for a couple months+ now but here a picture ->
