OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Hello, i'm seeking your help as i don't know what rubbers i could chose next as i've been playing with
FH : sriver FX 1.9 black
BH : neos sound 2.0 red
Donic waldner senso carbon (which i'll change to the ultra, a bit faster)

Both rubbers with 3 layers of booster and glued with VOC glue.

My Fh has more of a control/rotation topspin and my BH topspin has as much rotation but is way faster. I also like to block and drop shot (my favorite is when the ball's so short it hits the table twice).

What i'm looking for are faster rubbers (as i have to do huge movements to give the ball the spin and speed i want) but still quite soft because i like the feeling, but i've never played with harder rubbers and i still am open to them, i just don't know what to look for.
Tenergy's look tempting but way too expensive for me.

Thank you for reading me and taking your time to help me!

Are you really looking for a setup where you can loop with a flick of the wrist? Just curious about why you are using thin sponge, that kinda went out of fashion with the 40mm ball. Can't say I have ever heard of Neos Sound..

What VOC glue and booster do you use?

I've always played with this then i stopped, and when i got to play again i just took what i had before so i wouldn't lose sensations.
I don't want to do killer moves with just my wrist, i just mean, i have to do exageratly big and fast movements to have a result i find acceptable.
I use the store brand glue and booster, as i've always used them. But if i ever get faster rubbers i won't boost them.

Store brand? What brand? Glues I can imagine (I use Elmer's Rubber Cement myself), but boosters???

How long ago did you quit? If it was years ago the rubber's probably dead and the booster's worn off by now.

I obviously bought new ones at the start of the season, the same ones as before.

Again, what glue and what boosters? Just out of curiosity.

I suppose if you want soft rubbers there's Baracuda and Rakza 7. And don't get thin sponge.

Stiga had/has a rubber with a similar name (??)...

Hi, if you really want to practice well today, you will probably need to order new rubbers; those you have are out of stock, and would not grip the plastic ball adopted recently.

Recommendation:
Play with Tibhar FXP, this is closest to your Sriver FX; and find a new stiga rubber (e.g. DNA) to replace neos
