What are the differences of soft and hard rubbers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two and what type of play does one suits best?

Hi Mars,
The softer rubbers suit players who hit through the ball a little more (a flatter contact). The hard rubbers suit players who brush the ball more.
They are both fine, just depends on your style.

How hard do you need to hold onto the bat? What are the effects of holding on tight?

so that if want to have more spin on it, i must have a hard rubber ? what about the xiom vega pro ?
You can generate good spin with both, Just the contact is slightly different. This is not something that you need to worry about at this stage of your development. Just focus on the strokes as we show you and keep working hard.
Again Frendy, I think that it's best not to think too deeply about these matters. Try a few combinations, and see which feels better to you. Then stick with that and focus on improving your technique. That will yield 100 times the results you will get from small changes to your equipment.
