Help to transition from ESN FH Rubber

[eyequeue]

Hi guys, new guy here! I've been playing table tennis on and off for like about 10 years now. I would say I'm like a casual amateur joining small tournaments here and there sometimes. For context, I have only used Xiom rubbers for my FH such as the Vega X (current), Omega IV Pro and Omega VII Euro in the past. Only had proper coaching when I played in high school but that's a long time ago. I can safely say I am okay with standard FH/BH stroke and all that usual training/warmup stuff. However, it all crumbles when I play an actual match. I felt like I'm not too confident in my FH and the ball would, more often than ideal, went over the table or straight to the net. I realised that after all these times my technique are not that good and I have been carried by my rubber. And so, I'm thinking of going to Chinese made rubbers instead due to claimed linearity and also cost.

So based on my research, I have been looking for affordable Chinese rubber that is like 1/2 of the price of the Vega X and I don't want to bother with boosting. I have narrowed my choices down to:
Yinhe Jupiter III Asia
Yinhe Big Dipper V
Sanwei Target III Professional Version
All 39 deg hardness
I will be honest, I don't know whether this will fix my problem or not. But I also don't really have the privilege to play with a coach. Sorry if bad grammar! My second language ^^ Looking forward for help from the experts. Open to feedback and advice.

It wont fix Your problem, but maybe Your wallet.
Your current equipment is fine. The fix is to play more and preferably find a coach.

Get the Sanwei Target National 3 (blue sponge version) and for a few weeks or months, enjoy your playing level going down, and after you accept you need to put in more effort in playing, you will increase your level gradually. You will need to change your style to use this rubber and it will help you develop more strength and timing in your game. Chinese rubbers are really good to learn since they are more linear and you can understand more easily what they are doing. Pretty cheap too and durable.
