Which rubber to pair my Viscaria?

[masusa]

Hello everyone,

I would like to have some advice on the following. Since a year or three I play with MX-P (max) on both sides on a Viscaria blade. I love the blade but
lately I doubt whether MX-P suits my game enough. I am a intermediate player with a good serve and good ( two winged) looping and blocking skills. My pushing and driving skills are not my strongest weapons.

Lately, I notice that the MX-P is sometimes too bouncy for me and I have troubles receiving long spinny serves from my opponent. I find my MX-P pretty sensitive for incoming spin.

I would like to play with a harder rubber that suits my game better, Meaning less sensitive for incoming spin, suitable for fast and spinny looping/flicking and dominant serving
with good control.

I am currently orientating on XIOM and Victas rubbers. but I am open to any brand.

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Gr Martijn

Tacky rubbers:
Xiom Vega China
Victas Double Triple Extra (similar to provincial H3)

Non tacky
Xiom Vega X (similar to D64)
Xiom O7 Asia
Xiom O7 Tour

If you have the budget, you can’t go wrong with Butterfly’s own rubbers:
FH D09C
BH D64

I am really liking Donic Bluestar A1 as a harder / tacky rubber on FH and also Hammond Z2 on BH.

Yasaka A. Power would be less bouncy.

Hmm... MX-P is already decently insensitive to incoming spin on light impacts after it is 2 weeks old. MX-P 50 has a harder sponge, try that out.

I find my MX-P pretty sensitive for incoming spin.

If you think MX-P is very spin sensitive, you REALLY gunna hate on the more modern and popular rubbers big time.
if you are babying the return of serve with an impact well past the bounce and past the endline, then it is no-shyt sherlock with any rubber that the serve will be difficult to control - way more difficult that impacting ball near bounce with soft hand. Go ahead and slap on sum Diginicski, some H3, or any Hybryd rubber and see that ball fly off your bat 2-5x moar.

with good control.

Control of what. There are many shots in TT, and no single rubber makes it easy to do all of them. (Ease of doing a shot is control) There are trade-offs when designing a rubber, just like there are trade-offs designing a car tire. You have to figure out the type of rubber and its sponge hardness to get you in the right direction for suitability.

Unless you are playing outside in the park, I think you are around so many good player and trainers who know well. Just ask.
