my favorite backhand rubbers: xiom omega 5 euro victas ventus extra tibhar el-s or el-p xiom vega x they all don’t have a lot of catapult but still bit more spice for the compact stroke. years ago i would advice for something softer but since the plasticball it just doesn’t make sense for me...

sadly in my country the prices are even higher then they would for the regular sale that was some days before. should have bought my stuff at this time around, but you‘ll never know with aliexpress…

also one thing i forgot: technic is still something personal. everyone has a slightly different way of doing it depending on their bodyfunction. so i disagree to recreate the exact same motion as a pro, because it will lead to nothing. you only need the basics and find a way where you can create...

some bad habits i see that you can improve: 1. your hips go up and forward. the power comes form the core, not from the hip. if you use the hip like those oldshool 90‘s european players then you need to move from the left leg to the right leg, but most modern backhands move the hip through the...

a softer rubber will get easier speed together with spin. spin alone is not that important. spin + speed = quality. so if you are less active rakza z will actually be faster and spinnier then d09c. acuda is even softer and should give you way better quality for lazy strokes. i know that you want...

interesting that you think the short game is easier with an innercarbon blade then with an outercarbon. for me this was always the best about outercarbon blades especially viscaria style ones, they are so easy to use in short game, you don't have this weird popup and dwell and spit like you have...

sorry to say it but if you can‘t get speed out of a bouncy samsonov black with acuda rubbers, then something is wrong with your technic. you should then seriously consider to step down and try rakza z. but this will be maybe still too fast for you, if you have the problems you talked about. i...

my favorite tensor backhand offensive rubbers for smaller movements: 1. omega 5 euro 2. vega pro / vega x 3. ventus extra 4. el-s 5. hexer powergrip when you want it even softer: 6. aurus soft 7. omega 7 euro 8. fx-s 9. vega europe when you want it more allround with more pushing and...

i think he only struggled because your movement is pretty slow so a good player will intuitively think: less spin. but if you have a good touch then you can load up with spin even though the movement is not fully developed. i sometimes have this too when my short backspin serve in forehand comes...

if you want to stay with your defending style and your allround play then there is nothing against this. i actually think it is really nice and refreshing, because most beginners nowadays are only playing the same style of offensive game, so i really like that you don't want to push yourself...

i really would advice against Hurricane 3 if you not get coached. it is just not worth it with all the hustle of boosting and all. especially for the way you play. you will just confuse yourself even more. hurricane 8-80 i would say yes and rakza z too, but to tell you the hard truth: it really...

the newer mizuno model 9 are a bit wider so i went with half a size smaller. my wave drive 8 are in 26.0JP/40.5 and weigh 275g

sorry even lighter! weighted them at 235g in 25.5JP/40Eur

i also bought sueke no.2 on suggestion by this forum and need to say it is really the best glue i ever used. way better than rev03 that i used before. the consistency is slightly thicker and thus better to spread. no weird smell. it holds on the bat really tight, but when you pull it off it...

the new mizuno wave drive 9 are even wider then the old model and fit my foot even better. i have wide feet too and with that it is quite hard to find any shoe nowadays, sometimes feels like they get narrower every year :p the wave drive 9 are 246g in my size

okay then i am sorry, it sounded like he wanted you to change for nothing in your first comment. but if you decided to train then even better :)

i would go with others and really question what kind of coach you having that doesn‘t know the basic difference of offensive play? viscaria and hl5 are so completely different that you would only switch if you really want to change your entire game, as the others already pointed out. seams like...

i played with it some years ago and i think omega v euro is an amazing backhand rubber, that can keep up with the performance of harder rubbers despite beeing a bit softer. you will definitly not get this with vega korea! it will be a downgrade for shure. the only rubber i know of that can...

i also thought actually to buy and try them, they are a rebranded model of the speedart shoe that cost way more then the sanwei product and looks so nice. i normally wear the mizuno wave drive 8/9 but sometimes they are a little slippy when you don't play on proper floors and i heard the...

the introduction of the plasticball is already 10 years ago. so a lot of time to adapt and no WTT yet IF there is a need for change of blades. some people just changed rubbers and this has waaaay less impact then a blade. and some people are also not sensitive to either the feel of different...
