I have been searching alot in the forums but couldnt find "that" much. I have a confession to make and I am an EJ! :)
Anyways I recently bought a new Rakza 7 Soft but it literally shrank 2mm on top and the bottom! During the time it was glued. Worst part is this happened after 3 practice session.. It hurts my wallet everytime i buy a new rubber as its so expensive and now I would like to have a "cheaper" rubber. The rubbers in sweden is expensive, about 400 Swedish Kronor for a rakza 7 soft which is 57 bucks! Is there any Cheap but decent rubber for a lower price range? XIOM rubbers goes for about the same price and same with BlueFire. |

Guys he wants something cheap, why do you even suggests Tenergy. Ill admit its not more expensive than most tensors because it lasts a bit longer(~6weeks vs ~4weeks if you play a lot) but still....

Okay, so what will be the cheap medium to soft BH rubber that OP asked? I'll like to know too. Rubbers required boosting dose not count because that is not tournament legal. |

Have you tried buying from TT11 in Estonia? Probably a lot cheaper. Last time I was in Stockholm I was shocked to find Stiga stuff more expensive than in US!

I can buy stuff from other countries as long as the postage fee is not too high! I usually buy my h3neo from ebay<- they are real and cost me 50% with free shipping compared to sweden! Sure i need to wait 2 weeks but still cheaper! but paying 50 bucks per backhand rubber is just not a good deal in my opinion. I usually use 1 rubber per season.
I train 3 times a week and now with tournaments starting, there will be more playing time. |

I think a boosted BTY Sriver EL would be fine.

You can try some with joola Rhymz. There are three versions of hardness and here in Spain is not very expensive (32-34 €)

i'm a big fan of Palio AK 1997 on my BH-
certainly cheap. Seems a very good rubber to me (but I've not tried many of the expensive rubbers)-and available in various hardnesses |

Not sure if this is soft enough - 729 Focus 3 Snipe
Also, R7soft - you stretch it too much when you glued, that why it strink. If you still going to stretch, then problem will still happen in the future. Xiom Vega Euro is pretty soft and cheaper than most tensors. |

I had that same problem with shrinking, and here is the bad news: it will happen to most tensor rubbers that are factory boosted! Factory boosting lasts for a couple of weeks and that it! the feeling is different and the rubber shrinks! Very aggravating. The only way around is to boost it s bit, or use non-tensor type rubber IMO

Ive tried Palio Hidden Dragon(its a non-tacky, euro-style rubber) and its a good backhand rubber, definitely a bit slower and more controlled than razka7. I would advice against Emperor Dragon or any other Dragon i think they are tacky hard forehand rubbers They cost like 8€ even if you dont like it too much it didnt hurt, Or try Dawei xp 2008, those are even cheaper and decent backhand rubbers for any non high level player

Emperor Dragon is not a hard and tacky rubber, it's medium to soft and slightly tacky . The hardest from Dragon series is Wildish Dragon.
I've tried rakza once or twice and I could say is faster than Blitz .My Blitz has 42.5 sponge hardness and to me is pretty soft.

Bought a sheet of Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight (IQUL) 36 degrees last week to be used as an RPB rubber.
About 20 hours game time later this thing still looks brand new except for the spot I press my fingers on. It's crazy. It can pretty much do everything you need it to. Mine is stamped 36 degrees but being an RPB player it felt pretty hard. It was probably just the top sheet though. The sponge felt more medium compared to butter soft German sponges. Only down side of this rubber was it wasn't really "Ultralight" as said in the package. |

Nope, it's completely non tacky, soft, good performance for the price. |

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

OMG, I used to use Butterfly Sriver FX and or Stiga Neo Sound on my backhand and yes, it was quit a burden on my wallet. That was until I discover this great chinese rubber called "KTL (LKT - Li Kuang Tsu)"
I use the LKT Rapid Soft and it cost about USD$15 here in China, purchased from http://shop.chinatt.com/ but sadly, they don't seem to carry it anymore. =( But I am sure you can find it sold somewhere else. For $15, I'm sure you don't have to think too long to give it a try to see if you like it. After using it for about 1 year now, I cannot justify ever again the need to spend $30 or $40 for a backhand rubber. Hope this helps. |

Ever tried Gambler rubbers or LKT?. I'm low rated so I'm just suggesting and not recommending. :) |
