I'm currently using Mark V (2.0mm) on both sides of an All+ blade and so far it has been great. I use the correct form for my backhand while my forehand form is 70-80% correct and I need to work on its consistency. For a player of my level, my serves give my opponents a lot of trouble. This is because I don't have a table at home and basically just practice ball-feeling exercises for around 15 minutes every day which has really helped in getting a lot of spin out of my serves as well as deception.
When playing people my own level, I can get at least 2 points directly every set because of service.
When my rubbers wear out, I was thinking of getting Baracuda on my forehand (in 1.8mm) as it would be able to support my service-based game but as my forehand is still in developmental stage I was worrying if it would be detrimental for my forehand's development if it would not controllable or too specialized (ie. not a Jack of all trades like Mark V). I had thought of perhaps getting it on my backhand but I've read online that Baracuda is meant for the forehand.
I would appreciate any thoughts on this
