I haven't tried all of them but they are what I wish to try in terms of what I want to accomplish:

Forehand: mainly looping

Fastarc G1
Rakza X
Omega V Tour
Evolution ELS
Tenergy 05

Backhand: flicks, looping, blocking

Vega Europe
Vega Europe DF
Rozena
Rakza 7 Soft
Tenergy 80

I'm not completely sure if these are all the best choices for my goals, but that's the fun journey of being an EJ.

why buy sradivarius for cpen?! Carbon will only diminish your progress! why do you want euro/jap rubbers after playing chinese for so long? imo vega europe is a great rpb rubber though.
 
Love chinese rubbers and think they make you progress faster: if you really like hurricane 3 the most, it's hard to say tenergy 05 is better than skyline 2 or 3....that being said I do honestly think that for FH you either have a good quality DHS (Skyline or hurricane), or tenergy unfortunately. for bh it becomes more difficult as your hardness should be to your liking. I really like the DHS skyline 3-60, but there's not much like it. Donic, Xiom, Butterfly, Thibar....all produce excellent bh rubbers imo. I slightly lean towards butterfly and dhs, but for FH it has to be what you can control and spin the most with. I hate butterfly for the pricing. Glad Thibar and xiom can compete and lower prices.

I want stradivarius because I want something similar to viscaria :)
I want euro rubber for fh just to try something new
