Better Rubber

Ron Baltazar Asked 12 years ago

Well... I bought my T25FX and Bryce Speed from a well-known shop here in the Philippines.( Green Paddle)

Then bought my Werner Schlager Blade from a not so well-known store.

They did the gluing for my Tenergy and Bryce Speed. Since Tenergy's sponge have little holes in it, and regarding the fact that they used water based glue. My Topsheet detached from the Tenergy Sponge. I have succesfully glued it back, But it doesn't behave the way it should. 

Now. I'm sick and tired of it. What should I buy?

Bryce Speed - 2.1mm Black.

T25 - 2.1mm Black. ( I regret buying my T25fx. Feels so darn soft. I hate it. )

Spin Art - 2.1mm black.

T64 - 2.1mm Black.

I have been playing for 7months. I can control my rocket-like racket with no problem. I am starting to learn the Backhand Loop. It is the only shot missing in my arsenal of spin-packed shots. Please help me. I have a tournament match next week.

Hi Ron,

Water based glue is fine to use with Tenergy.  It is used by all players.  It may have been a faulty sheet.  If you tried to reglue the sponge back to the topspheet, you will find that the rubber will never be the same.

I am not sure which of these options would be best.  If you have a tournament in a week you should get something familiar as it don;t have much time to adjust to a new rubber.
