| Post subject: | Forehand rubber for modern defender |
Hello everyone, i'm a modern defender with ranking around 1000 in italy (not that good considering that the level here is really low but i set up the italian world record for the fastest grow in one season, from 10000 to 1000 and i'm improving really fast) I started playing 2 yrs ago coming from tennis, and six months ago i switched to long pips and started doing modern defence. My blade is a Diode V and i play with feint long III on backhand (1.1mm) and tibhar EL-P on forehand (1.9mm). I find really well with this setup but i actually want to switch my forehand rubber because i don't chop with forehand as filus or panagiotis and i think EL-P are too slow. I tried 2.1 blluestorm but i didn't really liked it because i didn't had much control on it. I was thinking to try tenergy 05 but the problem is their price, and i was also interested to try some tacky chinese rubbers like hurricane III or Dianchi D. Can someone give me some advices? I'm 15 btw |

Bluestorm is quite bouncy. Perhaps you can try MX-P 1.9mm? |

Yep .. I agree with Haggis, I found Bluestorm to be rather bouncy .. I too play with LP, and almost never chop with the inverted side.. However, I do loop with the inverted with and twiddle to play with the inverted on the BH .. I quite like the following ..

Anything fast enough for fishing or looping at far distances... is going to be quite bouncy and touchy! The traits that make them desirable at a distance are basically opposite what you want for touch play closer to the table. You can use more body power or get a faster rubber, and learn to control its speed when pushing etc. You might try hybrid rubbers like joola golden tango ps, joola dynaryz zgr, or rakza z etc But essentially, if you want a springboard/speedy rubber... it's going to be bouncier. Or get a faster blade! |

Yasaka Razka Z is good for forehand chopping. The slight tackiness helps to grip and control the ball when chopping on the FH. And its speed is fast enough for counter attacks. |

Perhaps switching to a slightly faster blade would make your current forehand rubber work out a bit better? Feint III is a fairly slow rubber so a slight upgrade in blade speed should not be too bad for chopping on that wing. |

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Btw i've seen that majority of people suggested me to play with a faster blade. I was thinking to order a vkmo, but i don't really know if it is faster than diode v, anyone has any suggestion on a good blade? May DHS 08x could work? |
