Which rubber can make fast ALC blade slower?

This user has no status.
Hello Fellow Table Tennis Lovers,

Currently, I am playing and enjoying Stiga Clipper with Xiom Vega Europe. Its a great combination to play with amazing feeling ? Thanks to this group for helping me choose this set up.
I intend to switch back to TB ALC (my first purchase which has Dignic 09c and Fast Arc G1) at some point in the future, but want the blade to give me some level of control using slower rubber. I am here to defer to the collective intelligence of this amazing group to suggest me some backhand and forehand rubbers to slow down Timo Boll ALC blade. I spent too much money and I love Timo too much to let go of this expensive blade. Above all, I like to have more control and feeling and power (when needed).

I hope TB ALC is not a lost cause and I can get back to it.

Thanks in advance.

Just try it with your current rubbers to see what TB ALC is doing differently to the Clipper and you'll immediately know if using it is an option for you anytime soon.

If you're serious about your TT you'll just work relentlessly on your technique, regardless of who's name is on the blade.
And if your serious about using the TB ALC then just work relentlessly on your technique until you are good enough to use it.
Basically to be able to use pro level equipment and not actually hinder your game takes a lot of commitment so either forget the name or perhaps get more coaching?
My 2c on it
