I need help with my game!
I've been having difficulties with my table tennis lately.
I feel that part of it might be because of my equipment. I'm using Mantra H on both sides of my FL Acoustic blade.
It was a good setup for me in the first few months of training since I've changed from some pretty bad equipment. It helped me develop a lot, but I feel that now I'm not improving as much.
My current setup is great to block and to serve.
It has been horrible to attack, mostly close to the table or mid range (which is where I prefer to play), but it's good to attack far away from the table.
I'm having a hard time especially with my backhand.
I guess that happens because this hard rubber produces a really low arc and for it to go over the net, it demands me to brush the ball quickly. It's not comfortable for me to attack with this rubber, because if I don't brush the ball really quickly, I end up missing my shot.
I tried to adapt by making my strokes quicker, but what often happens is that my movement ends up being too fast or really inaccurate, so it's equally as bad. Don't get me wrong, It's not lack of practice I've been using this setup for a rather long time.
I need something that lets me have more dwell time on the ball (which will produce a higher arc) and will help with my consistency, since I wasn't able to adapt to my setup.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try to change?
Maybe new rubber suggestions?
Thanks!
