Hi Coach
it's been over a year that i've been using mark v (max) with the 729 C-2 All+ blade..
but after playing with, a friend's, Rakza 7 bat(with Joola Power Allround wood), i felt that it suited to my style of play better than mark v, i.e A topspin based style, and it's way easier to lift chops..
now, i am considering an upgrade to Rakza 7 but i dont wanna change my blade because i think that it, along with an offensive+spinny rubber, like rakza 7, will create a balanced combo...
But i really need YOUR ADVICE on this!!

P.S. My current blade is faster than the Butterfly primorac off-

Hi Amir,

It is a good idea to keep the same blade and just upgrade the rubber.  If you like the Rakza then that is what you should do.  It sounds like a sensible approach.

Hello!

I'm using a primorac carbon and two lkt pro xp for a while. After some training, I really improve my technique, I'm blocking, attacking and serving with a good quality. 

My doubt is: I should change this material for something better eventually, or with this same material I can continue improving?

I don't know if I made myself clear, my english is not so good.

Thank you very much.

Hi Ton,

It looks like a very soft rubber that is slow.  It will be good as a starting rubber.  You may need to upgrade in a little while to get more speed and spin.  Give it another 6 months.
