Hi there,
So I've had my current rubbers for a year now and it's time to refresh them. I quite like my backhand rubber. However, I'm not sure about my forehand rubber. I'm considering going for something non tacky next that will make playing forehand easier. However, I still want a rubber that will allow for generating a lot of spin as I win some points like that on my forehand and want to keep developing this part of my game.

The reason why I want to stay with Donic is just convenience as there's always a Donic reseller at my next upcoming tournament. However, I am open to changing to another brand.

What are your suggestions? Thanks

Well you first need to define what you don't like about your current FH rubber.
Also - have you tried playing with your BH rubber on the FH side?
I would suggest going A1 or A2 on the FH side. The A1 is very grippy and not tacky, also quite fast and controllable.. Should feel softer than the C2 too.

Hi Dan,

Maybe give the new gen Donic rubber Bluestar A2. 50 degree-ish sponge shot be right up your alley for a loop-drive/hit oriented rubber that can still slow loop good enough when needed.
