Rubber for an intermidiate player?

Ganesh Desai Asked 14 years ago

I am Ganesh, I recently bought a Stiga blade. I am thinking of a good rubber which can improve me in my skills.I am an intermediate player still,I am not able to come out with a good rubber. Can you please help me out. I am a quite offensive and defensive minded player. I am more into spin rather than speed. So if you can suggest me a brand or an identified rubber. Let me know. I need a rubber with more spin and control.

 Thank you,

Hi Ganesh,

I know how hard this can be as there are so many choices. We have a list of rubbers on our site that we know are good. For an intermediate rubber you could try Mark V by Yasaka. This is an excellent rubber that has stood the test of time. Another good rubber that is of a similar nature is Sriver by Butterfly.

As you seem to be both offensive and defensive then these rubbers are probably fast enough. The Yasaka Pryde and Xiom rubbers in our store are faster than Mark V.

Good luck with your selection. Please let us know what you decide to buy.
