Answer:

This Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Maggie Tian. She is a coach at the India Community Center in Milpitas, CA. Coach Tian’s response is as follows:

Hi Faisal,

 Sardius is a powerful blade. I can see why you want to choose a rubber with better control. Without knowing how you play, I’d suggest your try the FX versions of Tenergy rubbers first. If you block a lot, I’d say try Tenergy 64-FX. Otherwise, Tenergy 05-FXTenergy 25-FX, or Tenergy 80-FX.

 I will also recommend you try other players’ rackets first. Although you may not find exactly what you are looking for, at least you will have a better idea.

 Thank you for your question. Play more. Play for fun.

 Maggie
