You can give Spin Art a try, but I don't know why you don't just stick with Whale II. It's a great rubber.

If you want maximum tune try Galaxy Apollo. If you want less tune try Spin Art.

I don't think there are any other tacky rubbers out there that are as fast as Whale II, except maybe Spin Art. But it's not very tacky and it's quite hard. For a non-tacky rubber that still plays "similarly" to Chinese rubber, maybe you could try Tenergy 25. Or, if you're a "lower level" player (under 1800 USATT) then you could try Vega Pro. My best guesses. |

First of all, I'm not looking for a tacky rubber to replace my BW2. I want to try some other new technology rubber with which I still can use the same forehand stroke that I'm using with my BW2. And I'm above 1800 USATT. Well thanks for the comments, I might try Tenergy 05 or tenergy 25.

There isn't an 'upgrade' to bw2. try the 39 degree hardness. it should be much better.

Give Spinart a try, or T25 as suggested by Anton.. they are both nice, some people complain that the T25 gets dead fast.. I didn't face this problem, but between those two I liked Spinart more.

The bw2 39 degree really is a fantastic rubber. I�ve just taken off the pretuned layer of glue on it so I can put 4 - 5 layers of bw2 Haifu speed glue to it. I miss the little dip my h3 neo prov setup has.
My main setup is dhs h3 neo provincial 39 degree. Offers a lot of speed, spin and control. bw2 39 degree is faster though. |

yea, the 37 degrees is much too soft in terms of punishing power. you should go for the 39 degrees before switching to a completely different rubber.

That's not quite correct. One can always upgrade to BW3, purple sponge.  BW2 41" red is way better than Spin Art. I don't know about the black one, it might be even better. |

Please rename thread to
"Looking for BW2 Upgrade" and have mods move to "equipment section". AFAIK - The product you are looking for does not exist; there is nothing off the shelf that plays like BW2 with a heavy tune job (aside from factory tuned BW2, of course). |
