A short story of my return to TT after 25 years (I trained in a club with coaching between approx 10-14 y/o):
Step 1) I tried what I knew which was Mark V on both sides. Slow and it didn't feel the same as it did 1992. I used to speed glue once a week.
Step 2) I bought a setup with Rasanter R42 (FH) and R47 (BH). I really like this setup but the BH short game (pushes and slicing) was terrible
Step 3) I tried H3 on both sides. The FH and short game (both FH and BH) was fantastic but the BH drive which normally is my strongest weapon was a disaster.
Step 4) I tried T05FX on my BH but the short game is still a disaster. Most serve returns just "pops up".
Is there anything in between H3 and a tensor which would allow me to play a fairly good short game but still allow me to play a good backhand without having a 100% technique? I've had a look at slower tensor rubbers like Xiom Omega Europe but haven't really understood how they perform in the short game. Any tip would be highly appreciated... I'm quite open to any brand.
