coming back after a break, need help with choosing equipment

[suli]

hi friends, im going back for playing table tennis and i need help decide if this setup will work well, a little backround before that, i played for 5 years with some big breaks in between the last time i played was a year ago, my technique on the backhand side is very good but my forehand is not so much, my forehand have bin my strong side for half a year of the total 5 that i played and thats it, the other time i was a backhand dominant player. i was thinking of buying sanwei 75 pro, which is a fast blade to my understand from table tennis gan review, and i would pair that up with reactor v5 and yinhe 12 medium soft so the setup wouldn't be to fast and i could work on my technique at the start and later on upgrade for a rubbers like big dipper, big dipper v, jupiter 3 asia, battle 2 prov, bloom power and eventually h3 (dont know which version), would like to know you thoughts.

Which sanwei 75 are you referring to? the 75 inner? 75 outer? 75 PBO?

Reactor V5 is ok...but I would recommend Volant. Volant is around the same price, but way way better.

Moon 12 is good.

Sanwei outer pbo

si=J2h_eFHkRoFwD_2L this one, I don't know if the volant would be the best choice because my forehand technique is pretty bad, I would like to get something slower like Chinese rubber but still have some similarities to Euro rubbers

Donic acuda s1 turbo on both sides and donic li ping kitex

Why do you want to use different equipment than what you are used to? If you think rubber is too hard and fast, you can try softer one. But it is not the best idea to buy an equipment without knowing what you need. I would buy same rubbers and start training, see if they are ok. If some certain shot, low/high arc, no control while blocking or consistency, partner blocks too easy, receive etc. whatever cause problem, then it would be better to look for an equipment that suits your game most.

I don't know where that bat is it's completely gone so I can't use it, I understand what's your saying but I really like that setup, the rubbers are fast on medium and soft shots but when you are going more that 70-75 % there is no increase in the spin, speed, and the quality of the shot, also the rubber had some decent grip but the spin was average at best, I know Im able to handle a faster setup because I used a viscaria with tenergy 05 and I felt really confident and comfortable with it

Volant is Chinese rubber. Its not at all lightning fast, it might be just right for you.

Moon 12 is faster than volant

Would you recommend volant for learning forehand technique? That mainly what I'm looking for, trying a cheap slow rubber for learning forehand again and upgrade after a couple months

yes, I would highly recommend it for learning forehand technique, more than Tornado V5. Volant is harder, denser, and has better grip. I think its a great rubber to learn to spin and impact the ball.

Which hardness should I choose?

Ahh you're so lucky you don't have US tariffs so you can get these for a low price.

I had H41 and I thought it was great. Not too hard, but a great hardness to force yourself to learn proper strokes. So you may like that.

But you could do H40 if you don't want that much pressure and have easier rubber.

Think I go for 39 because from what I read the blade itself is pretty hard, for some general knowledge someone who use it in this forum said it was really fast or to fast for him with Jupiter 3 41°, I would like to know if there is any other recommendations for other rubbers that would suit this blade, it's a fzd szlc clone

Sanwei Target 3 (silver package commercial) is good. It's like a classic Chinese H3 clone.

Reactor Hyper Power is good, another H3 style clone.

Did you try them?

Yes, both are good. Similar to H3. Sanwei has stronger reaction to booster.

Seamoon is the cheapest. Jiechi and FLM are better and not expensive either.
