Hitting Flat

[dhsalex]

I just got Donic Bluefire M3. It's great for looping but I'm struggling to hit flat. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Its not the case of angling my bat. Any help would be appreciated

Bluefire M3 is very soft rubber, it's hard to do flat hits with soft rubbers, it's not good rubber for forehand in all

Agree.
M3 being soft rubber has higher arc
What blade are you using with?

I think you should go for harder rubber if you wish for low arc/flat play

You will need to hit more direct and have better soft feel in hand. slow everything down and you will get used to it. I agree it is much easier to do it with stiff as a rock Frankenstein sponge though.

I use a Hurricane H-LG blade

Another thing you could do is pickup some discarded thin sponged rubber. That will do the trick any day of the week for ease of that shot.
