Hello, I am planing about changing Forehand rubber.
I am currently working hard on changing my forehand technique and I want to make it more and more powerful.
My FH technique is simillar to Yan An's I would say but I just have a little bit shorter swing. Till now I was using tenergy 05 and a lot of other tensors.
So I am thinking about getting new rubber that will suit my new style, and I would like to try something tacky and see how it will work for me.
I know everything about tacky rubbers and I just wonder if it would be better for me to first try something less tacky and softer, like Tibhar grip-s or spinart. And what about tuning H3? Can you make it closer to euro rubbers if you you use a lot of boosting?
Does anyone knows how does it go to change from euro style rubber to hard chinese rubber? Please help me because I am really getting nervous with waiting :p

Changing from Chinese to tensor is easier. Tensor to Chinese is quite hard because it requires a different technique. But if that is for your betterment then it is worth considering.

I agree that you should try Chinese rubbers with a bit softer topsheet or even the hybrids like you mention, grip s. If you have the money and time then that strategy would work to make the transition easier. But you can also jump into a Chinese rubber immediately and just learn from it. I remember when I moved from using Sriver years ago to Chinese, I have started with a brick hard Hurricane 2! Hahaha.

Anyway, good luck on your journey to Chinese FH. :)

Spot on :)
 
Thanks a lot :)

Regarding your boosting question.

Can you make it closer to euro rubbers if you you use a lot of boosting?

To get Chinese rubbers to actually play 100% you should boost them but when they are boosted they work like magic :)

Hi there regarding boosting H3 and making it closer nearly like euro, why not use euro instead of chinese? That would confuse you of your style. Euro are designed to be euro and chinese designed to bear chinese characteristic type of rubber behavior, thats the distinction. You can buy factory tuned H3 rubbers on trusted stores.

Regarding with what you said that your swing is a bit shorter than Yan An, and if chinese rubber will fit your style then.. no problem with short swing as long as you can sink the ball into the the hard rubber creating your own catapult effect and brush that ball then it will work just fine. Key here is strong firm arm and perfect ball contact on the blade as you brush the ball.

I don't want it to be like euro style rubbers, just at beggining easier way to hangle it.

Okay thanks for useful informations.

It may look similar, but is the feeling/touch/control similar?
That is more key, looking and playing smiliar is really different.

I think you can first get a normal national or provincial H3 and first try out.
