The best rubber is Tenergy 05 on the market. The second best is Evolution MXP. And the others are not so useable if you are professional except the chosen ones of each brands.
I think you should forget looking at the ratings of the rubbers. Better if you just try it and you will feel the difference after some time. And you will be able to compare the rubbers yourself. Without any rating.
With short pimples you can recive a little bit with less variety. I think basicly the fast or long services are harder to recive. But you can chop and flip easily with the short pimples.
You will recive better if you analyse just the point when your opponent touch the ball and how he touches it. Not the movements before the service. If you can predict well the speed and the spin of the ball you solved the service.
I've been training hard for the last 4 weeks now. I am a little bored I think it was too much training i made. Do you have any ideas what should I do? I want to play something interesting. Should I try ping pong for fun or did you hear about Teqpong? Have you ever tried these? What is your opinion?
