The Sanwei Paramid is a quite fast blade. I feel that it's faster than my regular Yinhe V14 PRO, so it was a bit too fast for me when I used it with my regular rubbers like Battle Max Pro/H3 41deg and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg.
What rubbers you need I guess depends much of what you're used to play...
I'm not a XIOM reseller, so I have to buy these to quite high price as well. I just thought TAU II is a really good rubber similar to H3, but with a bounce, so I wanted to be able to offer this super rubber to my customers :)
Battle 3 will come with a new pre-treated sponge, and 729 has it in production as of now, so hopefully it will be available in April, May somewhere. And the earlier released version has a non pre-treated sponge. But I haven't played it yet :)
Well. I'm quite similar, and I feel that it's a lack of confidence in your technique. Or perhaps lack in technique. You have to be more active and force your opponent into your game play. Only then you can get the advantage of your higher skill.
Xiom TAU II is H3-like, but bouncier. That one could fit you fine.
LOKI Arthur China is another one that feels like a boosted H3
Yinhe Big Dipper is similar to H3, but got a softer feeling, and a little bounce. Only half tacky, but works great for brushing the ball still.
Yeah. If you play against players using that same technique all the time, you might get high ranking points. It's like being a sprinter and you are really good at running and been running straight for many years. All of a sudden you are about to run a hurdle-race, and can't understand why you...
Ah. You need to fine tune all your strokes, work on that chop block and focus on ball placement out on the edges. And could your foot work get any better? There are always ways to enhance your gameplay, and I hope this could help you to find the spark again.
For the number 2, I really like Giant Dragon TopEnergy Soft, but it bounces a bit too much compared to BD.
Number 3 might be a tight race between Loki N80 and Sanwei Gear Hyper 37deg. Two quite different rubbers, but I like parts of them for backhand. N80 is a little bit more rigid than BD in...
