OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Although rubbers and blades feel somewhat different to everyone, there are many combination that just feel 'right' to people, where the rubber and blade just seem to compliment well.

I thought it would be good to compile a list of rubbers / blade that combine well. So which rubber / blade combination do you think works well together?

after much experimentation, I find 1.8mm AcudaS3 is great on a light (80-82gm) Wavestone WRB and Andro Hexer Powersponge 1.7mm great on a 79 gm Gambler Black Diamond Light

#1 Rosewood V, H3, Vega Pro
#2 Rosewood V, Calibra LT, Calibra LT Spin

D.TecS/OX (close at the table) => Tachi and Tachi Plus

For Modern Defense:

Blade: Giant Dragon Kris (balsa off/def)

A BTY Timo Boll blade (and particularly the ZLF and ALC, the two I have used) with Yasaka Rakza 7 / Rakza 7 Soft. Goes beautifully with the koto outer ply.

Just find suitable combo for my YEO. Fh: 729-2 BH: Moon
Its funny how 6 months time change perception of how equipment work.
Now EJ ing just for hobby since any combo just need adjustment IMHO.

Donic Appelgren allplay senso V2
F: Yasaka Rakza 7 soft 2.0
B: Yasaka Rakza 7 2.0

This is great racket because it has holy trinity of speed, spin and control.
Speed and spin thanks to magnificent Yasaka rubbers and control because of slow Donic blade.
Really dangerous blade for two winged looper who plays mostly mid distance. Also great for mostly everything else (balanced capability for all shots).
I can put enormous topspin and sidespin in my forehand loop with R7 soft and maintain total control. Also it is easy to attack slower balls with backhand topspin. It is racket for attackers but you can play very good defense if needed.
Probably the best combo I tried so far.

The Joo blade with Dtecs or P1-R coupled with a Tenergy/tensor. for the ambitious modern defender.

Also Dr. Neubauer Domination couples really well with the Joo blade (especially the black version).

My blog on being a LP defender beyond 2000 USATT and the pips discrimination that comes along with that

Yinhe T-7 with DHS H3 on both sides. I wanted a combination that would allow me to do spinny serves, short pushes, flicks, chops, loops, and blocks, with control. I feel like I can with this combination.

Donic Applegren Allround Senseo V1 and Mark V rubbers both sides max - great for top spin game.

Galaxy W6 with H3 / TG3 Neo on FH - brilliant for looping - can't find the backhand for me - but H3 and tensor style rubbers seem to work well...am trailing a Sriver L next!
