I'm curious to know how much interest there is in rubbers in colours other than red and black?

I've only seen a couple of players with blue inverted rubbers, and one with green pimple rubbers.

Are you using any of the new colours, or are players at your club using them?

No-one at our club of 50, however, its rare that someone will actually change their rubbers at all. I'd doubt most people at our club are even aware of the rule.

I'm the equipment orderer at the club and I'm not sure I will order a bat with coloured rubber unless specifically asked.

SIGNAL COLOURS

Actually, playing the game with those varicoloured rubbers will signalize a fancy person with some abnormal mental deviation. Dont take this from me, just consult for a correct medical diagnosis in the Freudistic handbooks , the famous psyhiatrist of Austria.

If you want to really slip by unnoticed , using colours like green or blue will not help at all.
Yes, by using these colours you portray an image of yourself but it does not mean it is some abnormal mental deviation .

Btw some rubbers in these conspicuous colours offer different feaures like better reversal and so on

I'd hope TSP Curl comes with another color, green seems to be grippy and slower, so I can use black for my FH then.

In my club nobody is using the new colours.Been to a tourney recently... very few people using blue and green rubbers.

Why this new trend? why not modify some existing rules to benefit the game?

Business is business.......... :lol:

I’ve been using pink max Tibhar Quantum X Pro on the backhand for a couple of months. Compared with Tibhar MX-K, it is slightly slower and has a higher arc, so I find it a bit safer and more controllable.

It’s a fraction less spinny than Rakza 7, but again, there’s the tradeoff of being more controllable and probably less sensitive to incoming spin. I can still generate decent spin with it.

I am tempted to try something. But my favorite rubbers only come in red and black.

Is it so true Green OX D.TecS plays better than the red or black version? then, it makes sense to try out the new color.However, just play in blue or green for the sake of it is pointless imo.

"charmander defender" Initially got the green because it was as in grass but the green rubber is a little softer which makes it slightly slower with more spin reversal :up: love the rubber :clap:

There’s a guy at the club that has a green sheet of Sauer & Troger long pips that are pretty dad gum nasty. He plays well with it. Isn’t that really all that matters? He likes it and plays well with it. What else really matters? Does it really have to say anything about them other than that?

I bought some green dtecs, because I thought it was fun - y'know - green/grass. I couldn't tell any difference versus red or black, but people were quicker to note twiddles, as they're not used to seeing green.

It also had an effect of amplifying myself as a "problem" player - funny rubber, nasty style etc. That could go two ways - either embrace it, and celebrate it, or figure you don't need more attention/hate, and thus decide not to.

On balance I think I'll stick with regular colours, but it was fun for a bit.

I totally agree with Lord cope. I have returned to grass dtech in red. Playing wise I found no difference at all playing with the green version

For the last 3-4 months I've been playing with red on both sides.. :lol: :lol: :lol: Mainly because when I bought that sheet of Rakza Z they only had red and I had a perfectly good red sheet of T88 Taiji on the other side. No one's complained so far, since I use inverted both sides there hasn't been any issue, and I haven't played in any tournaments... :lol: The Rakza Z is still going strong (as tacky as it ever was), so I don't know what I'll buy next, probably some version of Bluegrip (does it come in blue? :lol: ). I have played with yellow Octopus in the past (it wasn't even in the LARC, but it was the first rubber I ever came across that came in other colors so I bought a sheet), I'm not likely to get another sheet of it even if were on sale (which I don't think it is).
