Which Rubber do you think got the nicest sound?

[JHB]

My main combo makes a very fierce crack if I get a fast return down my backhand side and hit it hard with a fairly open face. But I have no idea whether that is down to the Rhyzm, the blade or both - I suspect the latter.

Alex Perez (USATT 2437, highest rating 2515) uses Calibra LT Sound on a Stiga Clipper and there is nothing I have heard that sounds like that without speed glue. He may boost though.

If the sound is the right sound, part of the sound is the sponge and topsheet snapping back into position after being deformed by the ball on a brush contact. The wood of the blade sounds different than a good corking sound from the topsheet snapping back into shape. It is sort of like the sound you can get from a towel if you whip it a certain way. That pop.

Does he uses it on FH or BH, I used both combination on my BH, but the rubber did not suit me, so I changed it.

Last time I looked at his racket was a few years ago. But back then he had the same rubber on both sides.

Does all the soft tensored rubbers have a loud sound ?

They tend to be louder because of easier topsheet and sponge deformation. Of course, getting to the wood is also easier so it puts certain demands on your technique.

I can imagine that sound can be helpfull but how lang does it lasts
