Thin Chinese inverted rubbers for chopping?

[AutomaticBackhand]

Instead of pips, using thin Chinese/tacky rubber for BH chopping.

Are there any?

Have you tried it?

I'm not a chopper, but I've tried a bit and the best I found is the Giant Dragon - Submarine. It's available in 1.5/2.0mm. Really good control, tacky, but not that spinny and not sensitive to incoming spin.

Several defenders use the good old 729 Super FX for chopping since it's (dirt) cheap and it's available in many sponge thickness ranging from 1.0mm to 2.2mm which is not the case with other Chinese tacky rubbers in general. And as with many Chinese rubbers the rule of thumb is 1 sheet of rubber = 0 sheet of rubber, so always have an extra one on the drawer in case it bubbles up. As far is I know it likes doing that.

Has anyone tried Victas 401 for Backhand chopping?

I used it for a couple of months, but not on Backhand.

Also, I wasn't that good back then and can't really compare it to my current standards.

I liked it and would consider it for some time in the future.

Either 1.5 or 1.8 thickness.


Like Joo Sae Hyuk said, the future of defense probably requires double inverted.

If there was a way to reliably make a rubber less thick, I'd use the Arthur China in 1.7mm or something on Backhand and the normal one on Forehand.


On monday, our training will finally start again, and I'm excited to play.

I just recalled that the German brand Pimplepark have a tacky, soft rubber with as thin as 1.0mm sponge. The name is "Epos". This could absolutely work.

Hello, I'm also a chopper with inverted rubbers.

back in 2019 I found my perfect rubber for chopping, 61second kangaroo 1.5mm at the hardest sponge. But sadly the next 2 sheets I got weren't tacky at all, and they're faster now.

You can try them if you want, since they are the cheapest 1.5mm you can get on AliExpress.

Anyway, I'm also looking for thin and sticky rubbers on a budget.
