Rakza 7 soft all the way! Softer, spinier almost same speed but I think you can generate more power with R7S than with Baracuda. Also R7s has better feel (more natural, non-plastic like nowadays rubbers) :) And it's not expensive! IMO R7S is better bh rubber than most new pieces from ESN for eg. Bluefire, Evolution ect.

I have used R7 Soft as my BH rubber for some time. Very nice control & spin. Speed is also enough. It works very well on hard blades. I switched to G1 as my BH rubber recently because of my new blade, Timo Boll ZLF, which is pretty flexy. |

I have used R7S and generally agree it's a good BH rubber, but Rakza X has all the same advantages you listed but a better top end and is easier to control when playing touch shots. If you prefer to borrow power from your opponent, use R7S, if you generate your own, X is better. tt-japan has both for around $40/sheet so definitely try at least one of them.

Thanks for the info. Haven't used R X. Will give it a try. R X is harder than R7 Soft? |

Yes. It's a firmer sponge, but I find the top sheet yields enough to still give spin on soft shots.

I have a 5Q on the way but I have not used it. From the spec, barracuda is closer to 5Q than T05.
5Q is a bit harder (Where T05 is the hardest) 5Q is a bit faster (where T05 is the fastest) similar spin for the throw, 5Q is bit lower but should still be a medium high throw. Any comments? |

Omega IV Asia, Vega Asia or Sigma II pro are very valid alternative.

Rakza 7 Soft is much softer than T05 FX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cTAbSFszL8
I own an old Vega Asia. I played with it for maybe 1 month, because it's the softest rubber I've ever had . Is O4 Asia the same hard? Edited by carbon136 - 10/26/2014 at 8:48am |

let me reiterate. baracuda = adidas P5 & tibhar Genius (both are very identical)
if you want something much more durable and has better power, try Tibhar 5Q power series |

I like Baracuda, T05 and Xiom V Tour on BH.
BUT is there any similar LIGHTER rubber? My elbow will thank you.
