Hi all,
I need your advice on choosing a forehand rubber
I've been playing table tennis for a long time with pre-made bats. About one year ago I started playing more serious and bought a Primorac OFF- plus two Srivers. I was all ok until I felt I can handle more powerful equipments with more speed and spin. So I moved to a TB ALC plus Donic Baracuda on backhand and Acuda S2 on forehand (recently replaced with Bluefire M2).
It still feels great on backhand, but my problem is on forehand. I feel these rubbers are somehow limiting my strokes. If I want to do a powerful loop shot, I should swing nearly horizontal which seems quite unnatural for me and if I move my arm a bit more vertically, ball misses the table so I tend to do weird small arm movements. From what I learned, this is the characteristics of high-throw fast rubbers which I don't like.
Can anyone suggest a low-throw rubber with speed comparable to my current rubbers?
My playing style is near the table and mid-range all-round.
PS. Maybe I am thinking about it all wrong and the problem is my technique I learned without any coach and just by watching and listening to other players so ... .
Thanks
