They're not cool, because there's nothing flashy about them... but I'm looking for a modern all around rubber - not too fast, not too slow... not too spinny, not too grippy! 

Most now are marketed to extremes. I like the newer top sheets, how most have more grip than say, something older like sriver or butterfly tackiness drive etc.

So, is there anything with a new age top sheet on a not too lively/dead sponge? Not just for myself, but to recommend to others. The guys using tenergy... hitting 1 out of 10 smashes onto the table!

DHS Gold Arc 5 if you want something that feels like Mark V/Sriver

Gold Arc 8 47.5 degrees if you want a more modern and good feeling sponge without it being as fast as other tensors

Xiom Vega Intro. 

Like a toned down Rakza 7 with less spin. Right in the modern middle of everything. It plays on the tensor side of things, but not nearly the speed of higher end rubbers. Spin and speed caps out at a certain point below other rubbers. The top plays like the modern thin tops, which I think it has. It wasn't nearly as controllable as I remember Mark V, Sriver, Nodias being. For some reason I put A LOT of serve returns into the net when compared to TG2 and H3 Neo.

I think other companies have their modern all around rubbers like Intro, but I have no experience with them. Yasaka Regan, Nittaku Factive, Andro Good (best name ever haha)...

As an offensive player I tried some of these more "allround" rubbers and it felt like bringing a sword to a gunfight....

umm... I'd throw-in the following, into the mix ..

  • Friendship Focus III Snipe
  • Palio AK-47 Blue or AK-47 Yellow
  • Sanwei Target T88 iii (If you want something tacky)
  • Donic Acuda S3 (Lacks a bit in the blocking department)
  • Xiom Vega Europe (A bit bouncy, but a good entry to tensors)

Excuse GeneralSpecific while I double down on my own suggestion, Dan Ives seems to agree that it's not super fast or super spinny and it is a "new-age rubber" which you are looking into but not insanely fast or spinny.

Just my two cents ;)

Great minds think alike but fools rarely diifer.

85 percent of the speed and 90 percent of the spin compared to powerful rubbers like Omega VII and MXP should not be considered an all around rubber.

Goldarc 8 is probably closer to 60ish percent for both
