Some time ago I was only playing fast ESN rubbers. This kind of screwed up my FH. So I decided to go down in speed and started to use chinese rubbers.
Therefore I have been playing DHS H3 (normal) 39 provincial OS now for sometime.
This made wonders for my FH, but... it also made me loose a lot of power from position 2 and 3 (behind the table).
Therefore I decided I needed to go up in speed just a notch. So the quest for a proper rubber started. I landed on Rakza Z.
I got a new blade for it Donic Appelgren World Champ 89 (Donic sponsors my club and I want to be faithful ) I figure it was a bit
slower than my old blade Nittaku basaltec Inner but not by much. So on goes Rakza Z.
First off I must say that I like this blade a lot. Its actually an outer with a spruce top and maybe borderline too vibrating but it has just the right amount of schwung...
More responsinve than the Basaltec I beleive. And what about the Rakza?
It turns out to be a great choice for me. This combo turns out to just the tad faster that I expected.
Serves: H3 has the edge with more (still even after reduction) stickiness.
Close to the table: H3, just by a little.
Away from the table: Rakza Z very clearly.
Anything else: pretty similar.
So the bottom line here is that away from the table I gained more than I lost in serving and close to the table.
Next attempt will be to see if I can boost the H3 to a little higher speed and catapult... I still consider it to be a
contender.
And to everyone who says that You need super human physique to play Chinese rubbers . Not true at all You just need to hit a little harder.
I can easily switch between these two setups any time...
