Yep... Late... Pretty much describes my footwork.... You also use the word Planted ...My feet are always well-planted, and stay that way..... Too well-planted, for my own good. My upper-body and arm reflexes, on the other-hand, are almost cat-like. I'd prefer an all-around rubber, that requires less effort (I have shoulder and elbow problems) to produce moderate speed/power, high'ish spin, and decent passive blocks

Rubbers that come to mind are Victas V-01 (45 degree), Tibhar Aurus Soft (42.5 degree but with stiff topsheet so feels like 45), Tibhar Aurus Select (45 degree) and Gewo Hype KR Pro (47.5 degree but plays softer). Others may have other suggestions.
There is a review of the Aurus lineup here: https://www.tt-spin.de/tibhar-aurus-belagtest/ Gewo Hype KR Pro: https://www.tt-spin.de/gewo-hype-kr-pro-47-5/ Vega Into would be another option which does not have a tensor sponge so would offer the most control and reasonable spin. Stiga Genesis S has moderate catapult compared to the rubbers above but the potential to add more spin.

Thanks for the suggestions .. The Victas VS>401, is typically recommended by almost everyone...The main reason I've not considered it is the pricing, which I find rather steep... Another reason is the weight.. Given my shoulder and elbow issues, It's been suggested that I use something light-medium. Plus, I hear, that the Defplay Senso, has a tendency to turn head-heavy. The Aurus Select is something I've tried (another club member's), and apart from it being kind of fast, I really liked the rubber.. However, it's priced around the same as Victas. So, out. Are you sure the Vega Intro is not a tensor ? This seems like a good option (perhaps, even in max)... fits the budget too. The Genesis too seems like it may work.. but it's a tad over my budget.. |

Super late to the party on this one, but thought I'd post my quick first impressions of this rubber:
Coming from the Victas VS>401 2.0mm, I felt a significant boost in speed with the 2.1mm MX-S on the TSP Trinity Carbon blade. I used the VS>401 on the Victas Matsushita blade for the past few years with great success, but once I switched to the Trinity Carbon, it didn't have quite enough punch. I'd say the general consensus on this rubber is correct: Good dwell and control, fairly spin insensitive, GREAT potential for spin, and plenty of power. This isn't an autopilot rubber, however. You need to actively stroke the ball and keep your swing speed up to get the most out of this rubber. I've only had about 5 hours of play on it, so I'll come back and update my thoughts if things change!
