hi alois,
i am mostly spin type player and prefer loop as an attacking stroke what kind of rubbers should i use?
are Chinese rubbers good?
Hi Abhishek,
There are a lot of suitable rubbers. There are a lot of different Chinese rubbers.
The rubbers we recommend are Mark V, Yasaka Pryde and XIOM Vega Pro but as we have said often before there are a lot of good rubbers out there.
Friendship 729 and Stiga Calibra series rubbers are a good start my friend.
As an alternative to the Vega Pro, for someone who loves extra spin from their rubbers, can I recommend the Xiom Vega Elite? It's not rated quite as fast as the Pro version but the ultra-soft sponge gives lots of spin, as well as good control and a softer touch when needed for blocking or playing close to the net.
(Also, as a psychological "bonus", the peculiar metallic clanking noise when you hit hard with it seems to strike fear into one's opponents — or so I've been told! LOL)
Good luck with whatever you choose. :)
There are more quality rubbers than u can shake a stick at. Instead of getting too caught up on finding that perfect rubber maybe just try out 3 or so rubbers that have high spin ratings and then stick with the one u like. Most important thing is not getting one too fast for u so watch sponge thickness and also speed of blade. It's no use getting a bat that allows u to hit a blazing winner once in a while at the expense of consistency.
go with stiga evo :)
gr8 for controls and spins
why wont you start with normal rubbers with average spin,speed,and control
then when you get better go with Stiga Destroyer (black) and Xiom Vega-pro (red) for the rubber and for the blade go with Butterfly Millerga Proline II
