Depends on the player. Do you like to play with spin ar just "whack / smash /hit" the ball back?
For players who like to play with spin (top or under or side / loop) preferably a soft sponge or medium soft rubber, IMO, is suitable.
For Blockers and hitters a medium to medium hard rubber is suitable.
For hard hitters or playing with speed without spin or like the Malay wording " main sepak sahaja", then a hard rubber, IMO, is preferred.
Degree of softness/hardness is measured in double digit numbers. The higher the number, the harder it gets.
For eg. Butterfly Sriver has 3 types many "Moons" (years) ago - Sriver FX, Sriver and Sriver EL (or was it L, couln't remember). FX is measured at 32 degree, Sriver at 35 and the last one at 37 degree. That means FX is the softest of the lot. But nowadays many model from Sriver had appeared like Sriver G2, Sriver G3 etc.
Please note that Japanese and European Rubbers normally cost more than most Chinese Rubber. Some companies JV or collaborate with companies from China, eg. Nittaku with DHS resulting in the Hurricane series of Rubber has DHS Hurricane 3 and Nittaku Huricane 3. To talk more about rubbers /blades / table tennis in general may take several pages here.
We can discuss this over a cuppa teh tarik in future.
So having said all that, brainpower, ask yourself what type of player you are. Then decide the type of rubber you need.
Don't worry so much about brands.
Bro, you are so knowledgeable la! haha... by the way how do you determine whether the rubber is still "OK" or is not?For players who like to play with spin (top or under or side / loop) preferably a soft sponge or medium soft rubber, IMO, is suitable.
