Rubber suggestion

nischay tibrewal Asked 8 years ago
Hi, I am planning to change both my rubbers. I am right handed player and I want to use a offensive rubber for the forehand and defensive on the backhand side. Please suggest me 3-4 rubbers in each category. Thank you, sir.

Hi Nischay,
I don't have any specific recommendations that I think are the answer but for the offensive rubbers some we suggest are Mark V, Rakza 7, Tenergy 05 and the list just goes on and on.
I am sure the readers will have other suggestions.

Examples of defensive backside (pimps in) rubbers are Butterfly Tackiness C, Spinlord Marder 1... basically any rubber that you can find in sponge thickness of 1.5mm and less.
nischay tibrewal Posted 7 years ago
Thanks, Sir and Jean as Jean said for defensive rubber I can go for any rubber which is 1.5 mms or less. What thickness is preferred for offensive rubber?
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 7 years ago
For offensive play use 2mm or thicker.

Hi, I am doing okay as a defense player with the long pips, however, a few players play with a antispin rubber. Would this rubber be more effective for me , or should I stay with long pips. Thank's

Hi Kathy,
They are very similar in performance. Either of them would be OK.

Hi Hanzala,
Thanks for the support. That sounds like a good combination. How does it feel when you play with it?

HI Ali,
You can stay with those rubbers. They will give you all the spin and speed that you need at this stage.

Hi Alois,
I am a french player. I play with Tenergy 05fx on backhand and Tenergy64 on forehand. Since September we use the P-balls and it seems that, with these balls, I have more difficulties to finish the point. I use to build my point but I have difficulties to finish the point on the "floating" balls (normally easy to play). Do you think that, on my forehand, a rubber like Hurricane 8 or Hurricane 3 NEO (or even Tenergy05) can be a good choice? I heard that Hurricane 8 has been specially developed for P-balls. I precise that I play a lot (3 or 4 times including competitions).
Thank you for your answer.

Hi Ludo,
I don't think changing the rubber will make the big difference. It will be more a technical change that will make the difference. The manufacturers like to tell us that they have developed certain rubbers for different balls... Not really a big difference.

Ok thank you for your answer. I asked it because when I have changed my Coppa x3 and Energy X-tra for tenergy I have seen a great difference.

Xiom is pretty fast and offensive otherwise Mark V as PingSkills said.
