Changing to a Lighter Racket Combo
Equipment
Mohammad El Hariri Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I currently use the "Stiga Hybrid Wood" blade (95g), and "Stiga Boost TS" (Forehand) and "Stiga Calibra LT Sound" (Backhand). This Combo feels heavy as I'm unable to use my wrist comfortably.
I'm thinking about buying Butterfly's "Maze T-Tec ALL+" (25g) blade with Tenergy 05 on both sides of my bat.
I don't know whether Tenergy 05 and the Stiga Rubbers mentioned are of similar weight, are they?
If not, will a 20g lighter blade feel very different? Is the new combo worth a try?
Thank you.

Hi Mohammad,
I am not sure about weights of rubber. I know Tenergy is quite heavy though but it is a very good rubber used by many top players in the world.

Confirm Alois that Tenergy is heavy. If I were you, I would stick with the Stiga rubbers: they are the lightest.

Thanks Alois and Arnon, but for the record, the Maze T-Tec ALL+ is 75g not 25g. I should have proofread my question before submitting.
One more thing, what about Tibhar's Nimbus rubber? It must be lighter, but it is any good?
