I'm switching to EL-S on backhand too.
just got to decide now between Stratus Powerwood and Force Pro blue
think it might be the stratus as EL-S is fairly medium hard sponge, so the flex might help with loops.

I tried the EL-S with a couple of layers of booster last night, It felt extremely close to the t80 on my backhand.

I have el-s on my backhand donic true carbon and it feels a bit too hard for me. Should I try fx-p or would another brand be preferable.

It's the only rubber I've used on the true carbon which is new to me as well.  For a few years I used Joola Rhyzym 420 on a Rossi Emotion but I found the rossi to be too light and unstable. 

Then was using adidas P3 on backhand of NCT maplewood V.  Looks like P3 and the 420 have similar hardness. 

I have El-s on the NCT maplewood backhand as well and it feels softer than on the true carbon but I haven't really been using that setup.  Using the true carbon.

Made a lot of changes all at once.  I was playing at a crappy place with no space so was always close to the table and using celluloid balls. 
Now I'm playing with more space, plastic balls, and a fast blade so it's a lot of adjustment to make. 

Just lost confidence in my backhand, I used to have a great one when I was right on the table but now I find myself backing up and that requires a loop instead of more of a drive.

Weeble, can't help exactly the way you want because I haven't played with the FXP thought I have played with the ELS alot and have two DTC.  From what you have said I suggest from one of the combos MAXXX-P for your BH.  good control and spin, adequate driving power and should be close to softness to you Rhyzm.  I estimate the FXP is softer than that range.

Is there just one kind of Maxxx-p?  I guess you mean just different thicknesses. 

Looks good but not cheap...

Maxxx-p is a different rubber compared to els. Els is spinnier and feels harder.

yogi, would you agree you need good technique to get the spin out of el-s, probably because of the hardness?

That ugly Tibhar sickness has taken down my sheets of ELS. They have lost their grip after about 5 weeks of use. They are still spinny but they are a lot more difficult to lift underspin with. Also, they have lost some speed which is noticeable during rallies. I spent 3 hours playing with Joola Flash this evening and lost many points because of this.

My EL-S seems ok after 30+ hours of play and training including multiball. However I did mention what you said about speed bug grip is still there.

After few months with ELS, it became a bit softer (slower?) but the grip is still there, lots of it actually. I also noticed it does a little bit better in warmer environment compared to the colder temps.

I like el-s on my fh, but I don't like it in on my bh.
I'm not going back to tenergy anymore, gonna focus on playing better shots.

Boosting it did not work out as I had expected. Control improved but it was not as dangerous any more.

I found EL-S to be very picky in terms of blades you are using. I played it on innerforce ZLC. Much better than on my zealot. On donic waldner offensive it is really slow and not spinny.

Tried EL-S at BH on my new ITC blade. Last year I played Viscaria+MX-S@BH.
All in all - very good rubber, easier to play than MX-S. Like it a lot. Strongly recommended. Good match with carbon blades, I guess.

Vic, what domyou mean by " easier to play than MX-S"? That is easier to generate more speed or spin, or that is more forgiving when you play an imperfect stroke?

I´ve been  switching from MX-P to EL-S on my RW-V´s on my FH

My conclusions:

It´s not spinnier than MXP at all, but definitely more balanced. The topsheet looks grippier than MXP but on services it´s not as spinnier though :(
If you play with 5ply allwood it might be a bit slow from mid distance for power looping,  but close to the table you´ve got tons of control, way better than MXP since it´s  not as bouncy so slower, which means better for short game or touch/finesse shots on the table.
Lower throw than MXP. I would rate as medium; MXP has quite higher throw.


I´ll give a few sessions more but honestly i´m not fully convinced with it as a FH rubber, since i can loop effordless with MXP and produce more deadly shots in spite of the lack of control compared to ELS, which imo needs to engage to a bit more sponge/topsheet.

I made quite a few similar observations too.
