Rubber Dilemma
Equipment
Cihan Yılmaz Asked 14 years ago
Hi Sir,
I am 46 years old left handed attack player for 35 years. I have heavy top spin on forehand and control counter not attacking on my backhand . I used to Primoroc Carbon racket and bryce rubber .Then I replaced my racket with Timo Boll Sprit racket and Tibbar Jo silver rubber max. to feel more comfortable and control my game . I feel more comfortable and control .I love it . but I lost my power and spiny on my forehand top spin . Ä°n the end I decided to play Timo Boll spirit racket . But I would like to keep up the powerfull and spiny on my forehand with using another rubber .Which kind of rubber do you advice me ? I heard that Tenergy 05 Fx gives more power and spiny keeping control comparing Tibbar Jo silver . But it is heavy rubber. Please give me advice . Does Tenargy 05 fX match the Timo Boll Spirit Racket ? Do you suggest me another kind of rubber to give me more power and spiny my top spin and keeping control to Timo Boll Spirit racket .
Thanks in advance

Hi Cihan,
There are so many options out there. I think it is best to focus on your technique rather than the rubber. You will be able to generate a lot os speed with the JO rubber. Just improve the speed of your stroke and the ball will go faster.
Jeff and I use XIOM Vega Pro. It does generate a lot of speed and spin but it is a little heavier than the JO rubbers. You may think about that as an option if the heaviness fdoesn't worry you.
But remember, the most important thing is technique.
