I'm considering to buy a new rubber, which is a classic rubber. I was wondering which of these two should I get? What are the differences of each? Thanks! :D

Musa, the best "new" classic rubber so far. Good spin, tremendous control and medium hardness. IMO much better then Mark V, Sriver, Vario etc. |

Which one is harder? I'm planning to get one of these rubbers for my backhand. ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

@danntreventon, Nittaku Flyatt Hard is great for the backhand. Relatively light and is natural rubber, made in Japan. I am using one so I can vouch for it. And people's reviews have been very positive. It shouldn't be any more than US$35-40. |

| Classic rubbers from Stiga like NEO, Carbo MC, Mendo, ... are very good for BH, and very cheap. |

How about Neos Sound Synergytech? ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

David Zhuang likes Musa; he was yelling the name after winning a game while playing Cory Eider at the nationals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ufpIMfZEdzs#t=444" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ufpIMfZEdzs#t=444  ------------- /forum/topic91512_page1.html#1124698" rel="nofollow - sales - forum_posts.asp?TID=19315" rel="nofollow - feedback |

I want to try Musa on my BH after I heal from a fractured ankle. Playing Tarzan and being 65 years old don't mix. :) ------------- Wood Paddle Red side Black side. |

Maybe the rubber brings to mind the great Atanda Musa, the Nigerian TT legend. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball... Cybershape Carbon FH/BH: H3P 41D. Lumberjack TT, not for lovers of beautiful strokes. No time to train... |

Is that why you have been so scarce lately? |

Thanks for the opinion guys, I bought both Musa and Neos Sound Synergytech. I must say they're really good backhand rubbers, that complement my Chinese forehand rubbers. :) ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

Sorry to hear that Frogger. I had a bad sprained ankle about 2 yrs. ago, when I re-turned to playing I wore ankle supports for a long time cause I got paranoid about spraining my ankles again. Take it easy and get better. ------------- Shifter |

In what ways is it better than Sriver EL? ------------- (1) Juic SBA (Fl, 85 g) with Bluefire JP3 (red max) on FH and 0.6 mm DR N Desperado on BH; (2) Yinhe T7 (Fl, 87 g) with Bluefire M3 (red 2.0) on FH and 0.6 mm 755 on BH. |

| Musa is blade sensitive. It will be disaster if you put it on a pure wood, like Xiom Offensive S or slower, and bliss on a superfast and hollow composite blade. I will never buy it again. Neither Mark V. A simple Tibhar Rapid is way better in every respect. |

Haha, very funny. But what's also funny, he wasn't yelling "Musa!" when he failed his serve return, in the following play. Haha.

Why is it a disaster if you put in on an allwood blade? I'm using it on my Avenger 5 as a BH rubber and its fine. :) ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

Don't know if you were joking or not but he was yelling 'Woosah'. ------------- OSP Ultimate II, FH/ITC Powercell Ultra 48 Max BH/ITC Powercell Ultra 48 Max ITC Challenge Speed, FH/ITC Powercell Ultra 48 Max BH/Powercell Ultra 48 Max |

Woosah? I did not know that rubber. Yet again I never used short pips. ------------- /forum/topic91512_page1.html#1124698" rel="nofollow - sales - forum_posts.asp?TID=19315" rel="nofollow - feedback |
