OOAK Table Tennis Forum

So, I've played with EL-S 2.0 fh/bh for 3 trainings and I can say that: (I play near the table and attack with both fh an bh)

1) Great spin on serve and topspin against backspin, I could easily lift heavy backspin balls
2) Good catapult and arc, more than my P2 2.0
3) very good blocking capability
4) a bit difficult to keep the ball short

It's a great rubber, on the right experienced hands. I'll keep the P2 since on fh I feel I have more control with Donic (on bh still a bit better the EL-S but I prefer to have the same rubbers bh/fh). I do recognize the great spin capabilities of this rubber but it's too difficult to master for me.

Could anyone please do a short comparison between Rakza 7 soft and EL-S, I am wondering if EL-S would be an upgrade over Rakza 7?

I am especially interested if:

1. EL-s is spinner than R7, especially on serves?

2. Is it developing player friendly, relatively easy to control, for example I tried MX-s and it was way to difficult for me to use, ton of netted balls and my blocks were all over the place.

Thank you very much!

Anyone try the National Version yet?
