Really good comments here. About changing rubber, I think it was maybe 70% psychological and 30% technical. Mentally it really does give me confidence to loop. I know i have at least 3 games coming, he will not loop a single time but push every time to my bh. It really gives me confidence...

Actually recently I have been playing more against LP players. And i have been focusing on reading spin and learning the rhythm and attacking their ball. There are 2 in particular. One is a old man with a very respectable bh chopblock with his LP. Also he does a respectable punch with his LP...

No you dont need to. Ita factory boosted and just the right speed

You could try Andro C45. Hybrid but soft

Darn. I really dont understand why Xiom has 2 hybrid 55d rubbers. Unless Xiom clearly tells us the difference, it feels confusing and unnecessary. Omega china is legitimately really good as a hybrid. Really dont know what C55 does differently

Can you compare it with other Hybrids like Dragon Grip or Xiom Omega China?

Why are you surprised? For a looper, a hybrid rubber is significantly better for looping than a tensor rubber.

I would go with D09c on fh. I think the lower speed and higher grip makes for more powerful and controlled fh loops.

I made a couple adjustments for today's game to beat 1600 weird push player. 1) I exclusively served bh. I felt serving bh puts less spin on my serve, so I have an easier 3rd ball. Also I felt using bh to serve put me in better position to loop the 3rd ball. 2) I went ahead and looped every...

Tony, im really not interested in labels or ratings. I just cite it if its helpful. If its not helpful, please just ignore it. I dont really think im a 2000 player. I dont believe i ever said that either. All I say is that when I play my 90% best game, i feel i trade evenly with 1950 players...

Ok, so i played the weird 1600 player today and won 3-0. It was 11-3, 11-7, 11-6. The big difference is that I really forced myself to play my regular game and go loop his push and loop his serve no matter how anxious I feel

I will try. It's trickier than it sounds because this guy pushes very awkwardly. He doesn't come under the ball, but actually pushes along the side of the ball, so it has sidespin and it has inconsistent underspin and it comes sharply to your left side. Sometimes it has heavier underspin, and...

I will try to play more aggressive this week

Yes, something like that happens to me as well. I see 10 pushes in a row come back to me. So my mind gets confused. I keep waiting and waiting and looking for the perfect push to attack. Then when I finally can't wait any longer, I go and attack the hardest push. When I play the 2000 players...

Of all comments, this one is the most representative of what's happening. I do think that i start mirroring his style of play. And when i try to break out, im anxious and stiff and not myself.

It is updated after every league night. The league is separated by rating, so in the actual rated matches he never faces those 1900 players. If he did, his rating would shoot up with just 1 or 2 wins, which he definitely can get. He is always grouped in with 1500 and 1600 players, which he is...

It's a local league rating. It's meant to mimic the USATT system, but I don't know how close it actually is. Our 1600 rating in league might be like 1500 in USATT or something, but I don't know. It's not a guesttimate by club mates. But like I said, I asked a number of 2000 level players...

I've just been using a thick notepad of paper.

Do they have the same head size/length? I just wonder if the same rubber will fit on both blades

Yes, it is mental. Usually our match starts out with me doing well the first 5 points, I do a few loops and I'm up 4-1 or 4-2 or something. But then, it gets in my head. I have to hit these big loops just to win a point, when all he has to do is just push and wait and he wins the same point...
