OK guys, new dilemma:
I have ordered p1r in 1.0mm from bribar-hopefully it turns up this week but who knows! My new one is:
I currently play with hurricane III on a 1.8mm sponge in red. Im thinking of changing it to something a bit softer- has anyone tried TIBHAR Speedy Spin? thats the one im thinking of trying.
Am I being an idiot? Which rubber would u recommend that is similar to hurricane but perhaps a bit softer & spinner??? I am still only 15 so please bear this in mind- I cnat go spending a load of cash on a rubber I don't like :( so-soft, spinny about the same speed as H3 on a slow blade.
HELP!!!

Hi SC :) coincidentally I used to use the Mendo, and I really liked it. Top rubber I might say. But used the max sheet. If you have a defensive blade, why are you using such a thin rubber?

Another cheap rubber but extremely good is the LKT PRO XT and XP rubber. Soft and spinny, it'll be perfect for you.

Read the review on the website above, and I am sure you will find it really attractive. Loads of defensive players here uses them.

I think if i do change, i will have to go with mendo as stiga sponsor me and its bad enough that 1 of my rubbers isnt stiga, let alone 2 :) i have a thin sponge because my attack is good but my forehand defence isnt quite up to it at the moment- i need softer sponge for nice looping and a bit of a higher throw angle than h3 and i think a 1.5mm sponge will give me control in exchange for speed, but keeping the spinny characteristics :) any updates on Joo's new rubber??? my p1r arrived today :D

I don't usually use pimples but here is my first attempt to incorporate c8 lp into my game. I have improved a lot since then. This video is about 5 sessions ago.

Nice vid!:) You don't play bad with the long pip, but off course your friend plays with you like a long pip player likes to be played. It might be interesting to see what you do with other styles. Great forehand btw!
