With a slower rubber you are forced to hit harder, with a faster rubber you may be forced to hold back… In my world it’s always better to hit the net rather than too long. When you get comfortable you just go up in rubber speed… They key is with the slow rubber you get a chance to learn...

I currently play with H3 provincial 39 Orange sponge and it has made wonders for my FH. BUT, when I end up in position 3 behind the table I’m in trouble. Luckily it doesn’t happen to often. At closer range it’s a dream to play with. Expect it to be a lot slower than both Rakza Z and Rakza 7...

I am using H3 (non Neo) on FH and Donic Accuda S2 on BH. Accuda is similar to Rakza 7 and comes in 3 different hardnesses. I could imagine that DHS tinarc could work as well. On BH need some catapult but don’t want too much … When you are a beginner you don’t know what you like so the key is...

My experience: ESN rubbers no, they will change little. Chinese rubbers yes they need a short break in period. I have had this with H3 and Bloom power. They becomes livelier… Cheers L-zr

You are in Singapore, buy Chinese stuff (i.e Sanwei Echo or Parla or Fextra) with chinese rubber, this wil be less expensive. Cheers L-zr

I don't know of any blade that flexes more than an Appelgren allplay. Almost any other blade will be stiffer... Select a 5 layer blade with a limba top layer and a thickness of 5.8 - 6.0 mm and everything will be hunky dory. You want some amount of flex or topspin will be difficult... Cheers L-zr

I know, a trainer should not bother with Your equipment choice. I my club they give advice but only if You ask them. This talk about different techniques is a bunch of horse sh--t. I went from ESN to chinese on FH, no problem whatsoever, as a matter of fact the slowing down has helped me...

Very prejudice… Cheers L-zr

Your development is only depending on equipment if You have selected something too fast or way too slow. Very short sighted of Your coach, maybe he is sponsored... Cheers L-zr

I can totally understand why, decent speed and catapult, not spin sensitivity, little less spin but this is not needed for punch… I play a traditional BH, but I still chose Accuda S2. It very stable long lasting and great for developing. I will soon upgrade to Bluegrip S2 for better spin but...

What’s the fun in that ??? Cheers L-zr

It last just as long as other ESN rubbers and I haven’t noticed any boosting that wears off. Cheers L-zr

I don’t recommend a blade at all. Sweden defensive is a really slow blade. If you intend to be a defensive player then OK yes. For a more allround style I would select in that case Sweden, and for aon offensive style I would select Sweden extra. The Sweden defensive is a thin blade so it will...

OK, if you’re goal is a defensive style 1.5, if offensive 2.0 an up. Appelgren all play is a good blade but it vibrates too much for my liking. Again it depends on your target style. If offensive a 5 ply allwood 5.8-6.0mm thick. A Mark V on this one would be plenty slow even a 2.0… Mark V will...

Vega Europe will be faster than Mark V and Sriver. Don’t believe anybody who says those are not for modern game, we’re all individuals. A slow setup is good for most people. This will give you a chance to develop your game, you will less afraid to hit long and thus hit better. My buddy uses a...

One of my training buddies play similarly, with the exception that he attacks every once in a while… He used Mark V 1.5 mm. Mark V has a great topsheet. You can get tons of spin with it so if you go for it select a thinner sponge. My vote goes to Mark V 1.5 mm One other rubber that is similar...

But You know, there is one guy in my club who always smashes or semi smashes, and that is pretty darn efficient. As NL said, its not a bad idea if You can pull it off, but with more spin the ball will land on the table more often. Cheers L-zr

It's because You played (are playing?) with You super fast (1 ply hinoky + T05) blade too long. You need a slower blade to learn how to brush properly. Cheers L-zr

I'm not sure Xiom musa 3 is made anymore., it maybe discontinued. Cheers L-zr
