Why not I guess? The question is so broad there's not really a useful way to answer it... Are we talking for you? For a friend? FH BH both? What are you comparing to? What's your level roughly? Playstyle? What is your reason for considering this combo?

Hi. Yes i should've thought of that shouldn't i :LOL:
Level: Intermediate
Offensive playstyle with Timo boll ALC and long pips ox. COnsidering to switch the stiga dna hybrid H with the Rakza. Figured it would be more well balanced/all round? Maybe a bit "less spinnier"?

In my humble opinion, having a fast car like a Timo Boll ALC (it's like a viscaria) with such slow tires as Razka 7 to overcompensate for the speed/control, doesn't make too much sense, I'd go for a blade like yasaka sweden extra (if you like yasaka, there are many others) and focus on developing technique as an intermediate player :)

There's a pretty big difference between the Hybrid H and Rakza 7. The Rakza is not just softer sponge, but also has a softer topsheet as well.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the Rakza 7 (it's a fantastic rubber in my opinion), but when you say more "balanced" - what sort of issues are you having with the DNA Hybrid H that makes you want to swap in the first place?
