Yasaka Xtend SD

I have used this rubber on several blades: Photino, Clipper WRB CR, and Yasaka Allround Plus. They all reacted similarly, with slight differences. Photino excels in spin, while Clipper provides speed. Yasaka Allround offers excellent control with this rubber.

It works well for both forehand and backhand, but I prefer to use Coppa X2 on the reverse side, as I encounter various players. Overall, this rubber is comparable to Coppa X2 and Andro Hexer duro. I appreciate its grip, as I can feel the ball upon impact.

However, one drawback is its limited availability. In major tournaments, I use Photino with Coppa X2 on one side and Yasaka Extend SD on the other side, both in maximum thickness. Extend SD has yet to disappoint me with my strong backhand.
