You heard wrong. Any good rubber can work with any good blade as long as you know what you are trying to do when putting them together.

Since he uses tacky rubber the BH now, they are more similar now.

Why? Sometimes, we confuse our feeling with our technique or consistency. Baal's point is that people can be wrong about this idea that FH and BH are different. Look at Ma Long, for example..

Interesting. For me, video is always the best way to understand someone's specific statement. Sometimes, feeling is really technique.

I doubt anyone does and since you are a penholder, it is probably worse. I actually try to make my backhand and forehand technique similar even as they are technically different. I would argue that it is more about the ability to transfer insights.

Yes. Like I Said, if you do the same things on the same side, it tends to work out, or if you like to think of both sides similarly when approaching shots, then the same rubber on both sides is ideal. But if you have relatively different approaches or a desire for a different feeling on both...

Can you compare these rubbers to my new old favorite, Andro Hexer?

I doubt that most Euro pros have seriously tried asymmetric rubbers. Very often, people start out with similar things on both sides and play their careers that way without seriously considering something different. And just the bias of starting out with something as a child clearly plays an...

Many of the people who start such threads are CNT fanboys or use Chinese rubber on FH with hard sponge so I am not sure your advice will work for them. For the rest, it is sound, IMO.

Very modest - you were making it sound like nothing special happened. Good job. As long as you have an idea of what you need to improve, the video is not always necessary. IT just helps with that process if your coach is not there and is willing to watch.

Sounds like you had no bad losses which usually means a good day. Any good wins? Did you have a coach or teammate watching your games? Any video?

Ah, makes sense. If he is still coaching you and you feel confident that you can do what he does, then get it. One of the reasons I switched to Hexer was that I looked at all the players around me and asked who was the one I played the most like technically. I remembered he used Hexer on...

Why a dilemma? Haven't you seen ttmonster play? USually, when someone recommends you something, look at their play and see if it makes sense. Who recommended Vega CN and what do you think it will do for you?

IT's not a misconception - Hurricane 8 is not your usual... Half kidding. You are 100% right - using your core and timing the ball always works, no matter the rubber. In fact, I have been making some revisions to my stroke but they fully kicked in after seeing Brett on the TTEdge app. I...

The rubber is not bottoming out. You are not spinning with it. You have a backspin loop but your topspin loop is more of a hit or swipe and that doesn't work with Chinese rubber. You need a proper stroke all the time.

Chinese rubber without some tensioning or boosting is hard to use if you play back from the table. If you want to use Chinese, H3Neo, Big Dipper or Hurricane 8. If you want Euro similar to Chinese, Omega V Asia or MX-S. Me, I like the Baracuda, Hexer and Genius family. They are relatively...

Pingskills has one. But in any case, what is stopping you?

LGL stopped smiling when he saw this:

I 100% agree with you. It was my first thought - you just posted it, that's all. Many young people learn well like that, hoping that others will correct them. The value of asking questions is lost on the young.

He has posted video. He can say anything he wants ;).
