Rubber help

ok i just have a little problem with choosing my rubbers. i mean like the new torrent rubber have the effect of speed glue but i dont even know how it feels like. i would like a fast and tacky rubber for my forehand and kind of maybe softer rubber for my backhand so it can have more control(i suck in my backhand). anyways i was thinking of getting the new 729-2 rubber since the description seems to be my type(fast and quick power close to the table.) so is to better to have my 729-2 rubber to be my forehand or the new torrent rubber to be my forehand? thank you!

I think the Double Happiness Hurricane II would be good for your forehand. Its fast and has high spin but its a bit heavy. I have the 729-3 and i think its almost the same as the 729-2 and its light and fast but the spin isn't as good as a dense rubber like the Hurricane II. I'm not sure how the torrent rubbers effect your game so I can't help you with that.

lol none of us is at a level where differnet rubber matters, doubt you will feel anything at all

Hurricane 2 is used by Wang Liqin ranked 3 Chinese shakehand user and believe me his attacks are fast. If you want to experiment with Torrent I know Charlie's racket has Torrent on it.

True, but its important to have rubbers that feel comfortable to you.

pick a rubber of your style, they are pretty much the samething. the japanese rubbers are extremely expensive

Actually my Double Happiness G666 rubber was more expensive than my 297-3 rubber and both are pretty high level rubbers.

DHS quality is higher than 729.

i think ma lin is most deadly, his serves are crazy

Cause penhold gets the most variety of service, but shakehand is a quicker attack.

Its true that DHS is better but I use penhold so I only really need one rubber so I chose a faster rubber than my DHS to add variety to my playing style.

pretty true. well except maybe if you by pips. just try a rubber out. i'd recommend something with a softer sponge for your first non-premade paddle so maybe get something with medium-soft/medium-hard sponge for your forehand and soft for backhand.

But remember guys... no matter how good your paddle is... "Game not in paddle. Game in you!"

you said you liked my red side better yesterday so maybe you should go with a softer sponge. transcend is kind of on the hard side

soft kinda good, i hate lobbing with hard rubbers <.<

is it true that the harder sponges r 4 more speed n the softer sponges r 4 more spin? o_O"
or is it that the thinner sponges r 4 more speed n the thicker sponges r 4 more spin? o_O"

Thicker sponge more spin less control.
