The most popular rubber among j-pen players

Discussion

eduardo espinosa Asked 12 years ago

Ever since speed glue disappeared from the market and the new rubbers showed up I have struggled finding a substitute rubber for this difficult style of mine, same rubber for both backhand and forehand. Do you, j-pen experts, know what I'm talking about? (or anyone who happens to know).

Hello...? Am I alone in this world?

I've spent the past 2 weeks on exchange in Japan (with 4 more to go) and the most popular rubber amongst J-penholders at the school's TT club seems to be the Nittaku Fast-Arc, I recently had a go with it, and it felt perfect for that type of play, good traditional backhand control, and fast spinny loops on the forehand. Touch shots are probably the only problem the players have with it, so you need to work on your control a lot more for it. About 60% of the J-pen kids here play with Fast-arc, and a few shakehanders.
