The point is, when changing your technique starting with something slow is your friend.
The number of layers doesn’t necessarily say everything about speed. What he needs is a slow blade with some flex and a rubber with not to much catapult.

That's how you would do it, and a valid method. But not the only one and, I dare say because Gozo has a history of playing with rocketship 1-ply, slow brings other challenges.
For those of us who started with flexy slow material it's probably no issue to go back and thus a good learning route. If your muscle memory is tuned on a cannon, however, using something completely different is likely counterproductive.

@Gozo, Why don’t you use that Zyre03 anymore?

Will keep Z03 in the drawer first while I fix my FH. Will go back to this ultimate rubber once I fix my fh.

Spoiler: And here is my fh stroke warm up

I have another 20 minute clip where I play a game against my regular sparring partner. Here you can see my fh in game form so that you may critique it @Tom Lodziak

What I notice at a glance is a stiff wrist, and arm movements that are usually too short and too slow – you need to turn your body more. (Compared to how I hit topspin)
May I ask how old you are, or at least roughly...
