Hi guys.
First of I start playing TT since 3 years. I got a score of an average club player beeing around 1350 German points.
Last time i got a wow effect. I took my TBAlc and played well but wasn't confident to play hard shots. Switching back to my 5ply limba blade i had to work more but my quality sky rocket back. There I knew confidence is all about. My close to table looping style with my current (and maybe ever) skill just doesn't work with the ALC.
With the latest review of T05FX as well as reading in German forum a div1 coach wrote he is playing (and selling) el-s and fx-p.
I mostly play with med hard fh rubber as well as med bh rubber. It is kinda imo considered as the standard for amateur player. Now previous club member do play a med soft fh as well as soft bh rubber. Mostly his fh loops are deadly for me. Now with the smart conclusion about the blade I also think about med hard rubber may be too hard to handle consistently. Ofc I do land really good balls with a good consistency BUT it is hard to play as well as I am not confident all the time. Same thing for backhand. Rubber wise I also think med hard rubbers should be only for semi pro players. We amateur shouldn't play that hard equipment if the game should be a skill game instead of lucky punches. I think soft rubbers should be more usual for us.
I just wanted to throw in my thinking and ask for more opinions in this topic.
