Hi Alois 

I have always used a tensor rubber like rakza 7 on my backhand . Am a both wing attacker ... But since i switched my backhand to JOOLA RHYZER PRO 50 i am having difficulty to control the ball as it goes out easily in match and difficulty to pick up serves .... I am thinking to switch to butterfly sriver on backhand ... Should i do it ? Or is there and other suggestion coach ...

Hi Shahroz,

You could try Sriver.  It is a good control rubber.

Others may have some suggestions for you as well.

Shahroz,

It's very much individual opinion, I currently use tibhar Taurus (original) on my backhand I find it great for returning serves, blocking, pushing, serving, and all my attacking shots. Some though would find it far too bouncy. As a cheaper alternative I have tried friendship focus 3 snipe. That is also quite fast but less spin so it has more control. Similar to that but just a bit slower was juic nano spin. I have also used friendship 729 fx. That has more control but service returns against high spin shots require good technique. Many people like driver or mark v, and I see many people who use the same rubber for both wings. Hopefully you are part of a club and you can ask people to try what they use and see what you get along with. Your current rubber is hard and most people get a slightly softer rubber on the backhand. Why not try one of the slightly softer joola rubbers?

All that is probably not much help but at the end of the day it will be down to your opinion. Hope you find a suitable one.

Nigel,I think the rubber is named Aurus,not Taurus :D
But can be that there are both.

Anyway,Joola Rhyzer and Joola Mambo are most probably the hardest Joola rubbers and one of the hardest rubbers at all.
I also agree with new Srivers,but the MXP would be also an option.
Even powerful CHinese players use soft and bouncy rubbers on backhand,I think I read some interview with Wang Hao,who had one of the best backhands,and I think he said he actually used a conventional Sriver on his backhand.

Does anyone here have any experience using xiom vega rubbers for backhand?

Hi Erriza,

I used them for a while and really liked the feel of them.  Good grip on the surface for topspin against backspin and good touch for short balls as well.
