I've got a few questions to you

What's your budget? I've noticed you recommended rubbers which are really cheap $10-25

Why long Pimps?

Why are you asking for ITTF Approved Rubbers? Are you gonna play in a Tournament that checks your rubber?

Don't blame me if you don't like what I'm gonna say. I just asked top players in my place. Butterfly Feint Series was used by Mikie Tasei (All Japan Mixed Doubles Champion) You can either choose Feint AG which is powered with High Tension Tech or Feint Soft which was Mikie Tasei's rubber which is very easy to command. Another rubber is Yasaka Phantom was illegal but now made another series the Phantom 009 which is a very unique rubber because the pimps is Tacky. Also you can choose other rubbers from the Phantom Family like 0012.Xiom Guillotine is another but they didn't say much about this rubber. I don't garantee that these rubbers will be much of use but take a try. About thickness, you choose what's best for you

Feint AG.

"It is for an offensive player who has some problem against spin variations. Works similar to an inverted. It can produce very disturbing balls. By disturbing I think that he means wobbling"

i think u should use the pimpled rubber that was given to you by THE GREAT YAN OVE WALDNER, though the rubber is a bit old but u have controlled it very well and learnt how to play with it .If you have attained perfection in controlling one simple rubber then u can start experimenting with it and take your apponents by supprise like VIKAS in Dwarka club,delhi.india.

Actually you are right loveleen ....however charlie states that Feint AG is good rubber for disturbing and wobbling effect.....C7 was the base of everything ....but as you know ITTF ban was shadowing my game ....it seems that I should try Feint AG....but keeping in mind about the basics which I learmt from C7...let me ask Charlie ....what do you think charlie ...is Feint Ag gonna give the same feeling as C7.....and also which will be the best place to buy feint AG from as looking for a good deal....as i havn't tried i would go for you suggestions...however loveleen as got a point If Vikas can play with Yasaka Phantom 008 very well.....its all about practise...what do you say Charlie.
