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.

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
