Well not all tensors are bad for learning, but yes, if he gets one in max thickness, especially one of the new generation ones, then yes, it will be bad. One of the Desto series, or plasma series in a thinner sponge won't be all that bad.
But, assuming he lives in the US, He'd be just as well off getting some sheets of Inspirit Quattro UL from Cole. Very Very Affordable and still will have enough speed and spin for anybody. |

The only reason I even mentioned these rubbers is because he seems like the kind of player who doesn't know how much he really needs to develop before getting different equipment. I mean come on, in the first week here he has already been talking about getting 200 dollar butterfly blades, fast ones at that. Casey, to be honest with you, stick with the TBS, and give Cole_ely an email. Have him set you up with some rubber. There is some good chinese rubber out there that will be easy on your wallet at your level, and will play MUCH MUCH better than your bryce you have now. |

Sure. H2 is a perfect rubber even for startups.
As for the previous advice, we have just assembled for a friend Shark X686 with Dawei 2008 Super Power XP, 2.0 mm. Real power with much better control than with, say, H3. IB TECH-Exonsor (advanced tensor) technology with 4 sponge options - 2.2mm/2.0mm/1.8mm/1.5mm |

I am sticking with my TBS I am not going to change my blade for at least 2 years I have committed to it. I do need to do something about my rubber. I am not 100% satisfied with Bryce. If it's possible to get a controlable tensor rubber that is what I want to do! Thanks for the suggestions and for helping me see I do not need the Timo Boll ZLF, It would be much wiser to stick with the TBS and get some new rubbers. I will look in to all the suggestions you have mentined. The hardest part is not knowing exactly what is and what is not a tensor rubber. OH yes that is why t this forum has a search option! How could I be so stupid? I hope and pray that don't shut this thread down as well! I hope Mr. Bull does not read this thread! Big Brother is watching you! |

[/QUOTE] Ok, so you're staying with the TBS. that's a good start. How long have you been playing with the Bryce? is that your first rubber? what do you see that the Bryce is not doing for you? what does your coach say about you using the Bryce at your stage of playing?

@cntcasey
It is good that you are going to stick to your TBS. This is good decision. If you are dead set to go for a tensor rubber against most of the experienced forum members advice. And to fit your requirement of not been to expensive that i recommend you give Palio Macro Era a try. It is ESN 4.5G Tensor rubber and is cost about USD$30 per sheet from ttarmory.com It comes with 2 different hardness which is 47.5 (medium hard) and 42.5 (medium soft). You can buy 1 sheet to try and if you like it, you can buy another. You will have to test to see which hardness and thickness will suit your style of play. |

If you want to discuss a rubber that would be a good match for the blade you are using then first go to the search button above and if you can't find any information then start a new thread. |

Wasn't there a recent thread about rubbers to match TBS? Or was that yours casey? You should be able to look just a few pages back.

Ok, so you're staying with the TBS. that's a good start.
How long have you been playing with the Bryce? is that your first
rubber? what do you see that the Bryce is not doing for you? what does
your coach say about you using the Bryce at your stage of playing?
I have been playing with the Bryce ever sense I got the TBS! That was about 4 months ago! I do not like how bryce does not allow you to feel the ball on the blade. I want to feel the ball on the blade I like to feel the vibrations in my hand that the ball hitting the blade send to the hand! As I tried to explain on the other post that was closed by Mr. Boll I played with a playing partners TBS who -Plays with Tenergy 05 and I could really feel the ball on the blade I could feel that immediate feed back in the hand and forearm that I personally like. Personally I want to feel the ball. I do not like the fact that that Bryce does not allow me to feel the ball. So my Problem is this My coach recommends that I play Bryce but I do not like the feel. He does not nor does any member of this great forum recomend that I play Tenergy at this point in my development and I respect this 100%, So I am left to discover what rubber would be good for me that gives the same ball to hand feed back as tenergy, but will not hinder my development. This is exactly what I typed in the other thread but they shut it down saying that I need to do a search and not ask this question! Well I have tried the search option and I can not find the answer. I have done as they have asked and can not find an answer so I can only ask again and hope they don't shut me down again. By the way thanks to all those who truly have helped me! It frustrating to feel like you can't ask questions! |

You keep telling us how great your coach are and you don't listen to his suggestion. Why don't you tell him what you feel and see how he recommends you. If you don't have the trust on his recommendation, then you should look for different coach
People in the forum can not tell you much since
1. They don't exactly know what your level.
2. They don't play the same style as yours and they don't know your style.
3. They may not like the feeling as your feeling.
As what I have done, I find the blade which I like. Then I keep changing rubber until I get the comfortable combination. People keep saying that it is EJ. But by doing so (really expensive), I will make sure that I get what best fit for me.

If you want to have vibration to feel the ball then give the Palio HK1997 Biotech 39-41 a try. I am sure you will feel the vibration from this rubber.
Get one sheet, put in on your FH and see how it plays. Only you can determine which rubber will suit you as everyone's feeling is different. Humbly you should avoid Tenergy and Tensor rubbers at this stage. Your coach is right to recommend Bryce unglued for this reason. Unless you insist then look at my previous post. Your coach should (unless he only plays with Butterfly products) be able to recommend another rubber to you. |

My Coach is butterfly sponsored and so he will only recommend butterfly rubbers. Does any one know if the butterfly rubber Solcion is considered a tensor rubber? I know Solcion it has Butterfly's High tension sponge, but I am not sure if just because a rubber has high tension sponge does that automatically mean that it is considered a tensor rubber? I have been thinking about Solcion as an option but have no idea. |

Tensor is a trademark of the German company ESN, if I recall correctly.
Buy some 2.0mm and 1.8mm 35 degree IQUL from cole. You won't be unhappy.

Yes no butterfly rubbers are tensors. And even those "high tension" sponges still need speed glue to really come alive.
Give Bryce Speed FX a shot, all though it's very fast, so maybe something like Roundell, or Sriver G3 would be better. |

I used solcion for a bit - and if you are happy with loops that never miss the table that vary in spin depending on what you loop its a good rubber.
The best shot with solcion is when you go for a super big kill loop and the play has moved a couple of metres back and the ball dives in front of their feet.
Or you roll loop and they think its spinny and keep blocking into the net.
check my solcion video for that...

i used to play plasma 430 on a tbs
soft rubber controllable fast and spinny, what more could you ask for. i have 3 of them for sale, all in red. not to mention, i have limited edition national team version of roxon 450 in black. great rubber for forehand, spin and speed is awesome, great for a 1200-1600 player, great control. i used to use it myself. couldn't get myself to use my third and last sheet, so i'm selling it. pm me if interested, can give you a good deal |

After reading many posts about the ZLF fiber, I was afraid buying a ZL blade. But took the risk after getting to a conclusion that tbs viscaria and the alc variation are weak for controlling the ball over the table, and the acoustic and it's variation korbel miss the sweet spot and the blocking over the table. This blade after owning it is a GOTCHA. Feel control that I can make short balls bounce 4 times over the table, looping is very ne'er the alc but much more spin and accuracy. I got tears in my eyes after spending so much money and time. The perfect blade whatsoever for a looping style and master game over the table. Low balls when pushing tremendous spin whan looping. A piece of art.
