Wondering about heavy backside rubbers - Which are there?

[BackhandSteve]

Hello!

I know that the MXP is quite heavy. But other than that which rubbers are heavy?

I need my blade to be more head heavy.

Zyre-03 standard thickness is 2.7 and 2.5, but the topsheet is very thin so when I had used it, it just seemed like 2.1 or 2.2 with regular rubbers. But if you want head heavy, get Victas Triple Double Extra. I've had 1 or 2 sheets that weighed 60 grams cut (give or take I added booster 🙂)

Nittaku H3 Turbo blue.

That's crazy. My TDE is 46g cut 🌚

I had 1, MAYBE 2 sheets that were close to that, but I had several that were 55+ grams and I had to rip off TDE and ask the club coordinator for 09c the day or two before a major tournament because that was a HUGE difference in weight 😭

I really like Tenergy 80. Is it similar to that? Do you know anything similar?

If you are happy with your current rubber (MX-P?) a heavier one might come with very different properties.

This might be a better solution

You can try weighted side tape if you want more head heavy blade. For example Nittaku side balancer or Butterfly power tape.

My Ovt ALC is a head-heavy one. How to make the handle heavy?

Put the tape on the handle like this guy: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/post-your-latest-ej-purchase.30602/post-567577

You can also try gluing/taping a coin on the handle's butt

Is that an edge tape?

It plays more like a Chinese rubber so it's not bouncy like Tenergy series. If you really wanted head heavy, you could consider getting into the Stiga Cybershape since it's got more rubber because of the head shape. Besides that, Chinese or Hybrid rubbers will be your best bet in making your blade feel more head heavy.

Loki Telson 100 Hyper is a pretty good heavy backhand rubber. Plays a fair bit like a Tenergy 05 hard, has a cut weight of around 50-53 grams, and is an absolute bargain for the money. Highly recommended.

Is telson 100 hyper the same as Telson 100?

Pretty much, yeah... Or at least I believe so.

According to my coach, the original Telson 100 apparently was pretty good but not great, so Loki made some sort of change to it almost immediately after launching it. That new version then became the T100 Hyper, which was far more popular than the first T100. Loki then retired the original T100 and then ran with the T100 Hyper in it's place, which is now known as the T100.

Honestly don't know how accurate the above story my coach told me actually is...

But I do know however that every time I order a batch of "Telson 100" rubbers from Loki, the rubbers they send me all have a "Hyper" badge on the bottom LARC area. I also recall that the very first T100 I ever played with *didn't* have that 'Hyper' badge at the bottom.

The story therefore fits with my own experience of these rubbers, so I suspect it's probably true.

(It also sounds pretty par for course from Loki as well frankly 🤔... They love to put out multiple variants of their rubbers, to the point of actually confusing people).

Anyhoo... the rubber I was originally referring to above in my first post, was the T100 with the "Hyper" badge down the bottom. Assuming your experiences of dealing with Loki all echo mine, then *that* is the rubber you will end up getting, if you order a T100 from them directly.

There might conceivably be some older stock out there amongst retailers of the original rubber, but given that one was apparently only made for a few short weeks, that's also pretty unlikely.

Hope this all helps. 🙂

There are small weights made for golf clubs that can be used at the end of the handle. Lead tape. Works like the Stiga CWT.
Check your local Golf store, Amazon or something like that.
