Keep your JRE

If those are the only rubbers in your choice list and you're really bottoming out the T05, it takes the FX rubbers out of contention leaving only T80 and T64 as choices. I would try one of those (T64 obviously has longer trajectory than T80).

I use Tibhar 1QXd FH with joola rossi emotion, and what can I say........godlike.

05 is not that hard. The bottoming out feel might come from softness of blade with not that hard sponge. the first decision to make is to go 1.9mm to let the blade shine more. Your blocking and smashing will improve while you and I are not good enough to get our looping suffer from going down from 2.1.

I just went through a similar decision phase for my FH rubber. I settled on Spinart. If you are looking for a harder sponge in the same family of rubbers than that's pretty much it. Any FX rubber is going to be too soft.

I finally gave in and bought this blade. Its surprisingly soft softer than i expected. I put T05 on fh and bh and it was a looping machine. I thought it would be bouncy on short game like the primo carbon but its controllable. Slower than my viscaria specially on powerloops but still has good speed to finish a point. I like the way T05 pairs with blade. Service receive Specially bh flick is spinny and easier to execute. I will try to put rhyzm tomorrow. Maybe rhyzm can take away that extra soft feeling

I was being a bit silly in my initial post and was waiting for someone to call me out on it - I appreciate the polite responses.   I appreciated for the first time going back to the JRE that I have never used a truly flexible blade in my TT career and that influenced how I played more than I realized.  I like the way thin blades feel but there were aspect of the JRE's stiffness I liked as well which I realized when smashing today.  That along with the need for a flatter straight handle led me back to the JRE.  Seeing my BH in action today, I'm no longer compromising on handle thickness. or blade thickness.  I am still open to debates on flex....

so trick the World of table tennis lol, you know people around the world have some kind of impression that you are a highly skilled looper or something like that

no it does not. Its just had softer feel than what i expected. Of course i know that changing from vis to jre will not improve my level. IVe played with it and i won some and lost some just like what happed when i played with my vis or clipper but it just had a good feel in my hand that feeling like yeah this is the blade although i know without denial that my game is still the same. The important thing for me is that i enjoyed playing with it makes me feel great hitting topspins. I hope u know what im describing

You sound exactly like me when I first played with it. So I know what you are describing. I am enjoying it again right now.

And Calibra LT SPIN has 0,1% spin

These rubbers are made for hard blades which help a little bit more with the spin, but usually the softer blades are not so bad with the elder Boost rubbers series.
The blade JRE I have tested many years ago, but I was with mixed feelings about it. It worked well with Joola Phenix rubbers then, but now they are stopped from production.
 
With Mx-P that blade will be very speedy I think and hard to play safe your game if you are not professional player ( many hours of play every day). The rubber is not so expensive, so you can test it.
