Currently searching for a cheaper alternative to plasma 430, and where to buy please. The plasma is ok, but quite not durable, and not enough spin for me, speed is fine but after a few months looping with it is getting almost impossible, the topsheet seems dead, any suggestions? The closest to this rubber would be the best, thanks a lot!

If you look around you'll see there have been a bunch of threads about some cheep "tensor" rubbers such as Inspirit Quattro, Palio CJ8000 Biotech and Palio Macro Era as some examples.

Your rubber is worn out, just replace it. Don't expect to get the best of new technology without the cost.

@nick911sc: Palio Macro rubbers are Tensors, made by ESN. So this ones are real Tensor Rubbers and not "clones".

@Nutriment6464: I suggest the Inspirt Quattro UL. This rubbers is very close to the touch, feeling and sound of the tensors, but the topsheet is much better and more grippy. What you can do as well, is combine a Dawei Saviga Sponge with a thin topsheet like palio quality cj 8000 c (1.4 mm).

Best regards

thanks a lot, well I just bought a iq ul for my bh, i guess it will replace better my impuls but still searching for a fh rubber ;)

As I bought a cheap rubber for my bh, I will afford more for my fh, I think I'll go with the closest but better, roxon 450? Or maybe Boost tc, this one looks quite durable from what I heard. And if I have 20 more bucks, I'll maybe try a tenergy -_- but I prefer trying a used one before :S

is boost+OC suitable? or roxon would fit better?

@firetack: the saviga sponge is a little bit softer and more alastic than the quattro sponge. So for me, the touch and control is better, but with a bit less speed.

Don't fret about weight. I'm sure your hand can handle an extra 20g.
