Hi guys, what do you guys think about these two rubber? Which serves better for the forehand of an allround attacker?

hey mate
i use acuda s2 on tb alc blade on both sides and are great,have not tried rakza 7
s1 imo is to hard of sponge and a bit fast for me and the s3 is to slow and sponge is to soft
s2 has great feel,speed,spin,control and wont let you down
hope this helps

I used Rakza 7 on my previous blade. It's fast, firm, with a high enough throw that makes looping backspin easy. Blocks pretty well, and counterloops really well. I don't really dislike anything about this rubber, but I've never played with acuda s2. I've tried acuda s3 and found it to be a good soft backhand rubber much like a slightly firmer yet more spinney f3.

Actually I haven't tried rakza 7 on my new blade...maybe I should.

Which is spinnier: Acuda S2 or R7? Which has more dwell time? I'm assuming R7's slightly faster?

I have tried both. If you are just at beginner/intermediate level, I'd recommend using the Acuda S2.

The S2 is more forgiving than the Rakza 7. The one problem from my experience with Rakza 7 is in service returns. It has a tendency to bring the ball high which makes you prone to flick drives/smash. It's also a bit tricky when trying to use it for chopping.

On the blades that I have used, I find the Acuda S2 has better dwell time than the Rakza 7.

The Acuda S2 for me, among the Donic rubbers, is the all-around rubber. That's my standard FH rubber I use when I want to test a new blade and from there, decide which rubber would I use on my blades. I have a spare S2 sheet for blade testing.

when I was using rakza 7, my loops were giving people a few hundred points better than me trouble since I could load them up with spin with plenty of speed. Acuda s2 is faster less spinny last time a played it.

Razka 7 all the way there is no real comparison to S2 R7 is a lot more spiny and thats what you want for an all-round attaker.
If you want to be smart, put R7 on forehand and S2 on backhand.
