Review of Donic Acuda S3

I played it in 1.8mm on FH and BH on a stiga all around classic. It was my first tensor rubbers. I choose this one over the Desto series because i've heard that the first generation rubbers (desto) were not so much mastered and that the new generation rubbers such as acuda are more balanced and stable. I've played a bit with some Destos (F3, F2) and i think to remember that they felt more bouncy. Anyway i really like this acuda S3 and it was really easy to get my habit with it. Very good spin and control, easy short touch play. Really no problem ! You can drive and loop with it, it's good. Maybe 1.8mm is a bit too thin for looping and i was thinking to then play S2 2mm and S3 2mm. To conclude it was a very good first tensor rubbers and i was very happy with it (At the time, i played since almost 2 years. Maybe it would have been too fast for a first rubbers)

Review of Tibhar Vari Spin

After a premade blade, it was my first rubbers in 1.8mm with stiga all around classic. I really liked it and i had a good feeling with it, it was nice to learn the strokes. For my level at the time, I didn't felt that it was especially slow. If i had to do it again now, maybe i'll try directly acuda S3 1.8mm (my 2sd rubbers) on the FH and vari spin 1.8mm on the BH. It would be a good way to directly try tensor rubber and if the acuda is too fast, then downgrade back to vari spin on the FH. To conclude it's a great idea to play with not so fast rubbers like this one because you can use your full body without hesitation. With some faster rubber i tried at a beginner level (like Mark V), i wasn't comfortable to do it. (and finally i downgrade back to vari spin)

Review of Yasaka Mark V

Personally i wasn't convinced by Mark V and Mark V Gps. I found it too fast to begin TT with, played with stiga all around classic. I even had to downgrade back to vari spin because i lacked control with it. Now with more experience i don't see the point to take this rubbers instead of an entry level tensor rubbers. Mark V is now old, not made for the new ball, not a tensor. And not even so good for beginners (i would prefer vari spin). Played in 1.8mm i think, or 2mm

Review of Yasaka Mark V GPS

I played a few months with it on a stiga all around classic, after a vari spin. It was both sides, in 1.8mm. It a way it's a good rubbers but i wasn't fully convinced. I didn't felt a great control with it, or maybe more a great feeling. I think this rubbers won't be a mistake to play with but now i think it's more interesting to play with something more modern, any entry level tensor rubber. Just a precision, i tend to think that slower rubber is better than too fast

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft

It's my current rubbers after first vari spin, then acuda S3. I play it in 2mm with stiga all around classic. At first i found it very fast and i had to let it down for a while and play with something slower. I think it's an advanced rubber. Now that i brush the ball properly on almost all my shots, i feel that i have a great control with and i can play slow spinny low and loop drive without problem. For me the short game is also good, no problem with it, same for the serve. The only problem i feel now is that it's not hard enough for me now, it bothers me sometimes. To conclude i think it's a very good rubbers and won't be a mistake for anybody. Just you first need to have developed proper strokes and consistency, i think. Enjoy :)
