OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I recently got a Tibhar Stratus Powerwood (TSPW) an all wood blade because i want to try how it feels, coming from using DHS power pg g5. I use Rakza 7 on Fh and Rakza 7 soft on my Bh. Just wondering, what kind of rubbers suit the TSPW? I personally like non to little tackiness and not too heavy because i have a injured wrist that has been around for years.

Both, blade and rubbers, by themselves are pretty good... However, you have not mentioned anything at all, about your game. So, I guesstimate that since these rubbers have worked for you in the past, they should be fine, even on the new blade.

i actually only play at home and would like to improve at the same time. the space here is pretty tight and no more than 2meters away from the table. so im wondering if a hard rubber will benefit me that much. i like to block, although not very good with it. i also topsin/loop whenever given the chance.

Unless you're completely dissatisfied with the rubbers you're already playing with, I suggest you stick with them.

Im looking for maybe a lighter set of rubbers? what do you think of palio ak47?

From comments dotted around the internet, it seems there's about 3g difference between AK47 and Rakza 7, in an uncut sheet. Less, of course, given you're cutting a third of the sheet away. So maybe you save yourself 4g overall - so maybe about 2% of the whole setup's weight.

If you think that will make a massive difference to your body and your game, maybe try it. The rubbers are cheap, and well-regarded.

Personally I'm skeptical you'd notice the difference.
