I think I had simillar problem like nextlevel with my t05. When I wanted to play slow, short topspin it was not easy to do, also short push was difficult.
So maybe baracuda is good choice?
I know that, also if I relax my hand a lot I Can Even smash it from the table, but this is not the question. The rubber I use now is extremely hard to do this, while I was using t05, t05fx and rakza 7 was much easier.
Might be a good choice. I am just thinking about difference in softer or harder rubber. For instance T05 and FX version. Which is better to initiate attack and which is better to continue.
Also good climb by:
Jakub Dyjas 108-87
Wang Yang 81-49
Both did great job during Polish Open
and Solja Petrissa 26-14 thanks to beating Feng Tianwei and Ai Fukuhara in Japan Open
This can be explained. Dima got many points by winning last previous month European Championships, so he was only few points behind ZJK. Now last month he got many points getting 3rd place in World Cup where ZJK did not take part.
Here you have events counted...
This might be the reason. I played same rubber as she for one year and only way to handle with spinny shots was to wait until the ball is high. While she always tries to play it right after bounce - this is very difficult and you cannot predict if the ball goes to the net or just above.
I cannot believe how Fukuhara could lost the match. She even had a matchpoint with FH topspin to finish. Seems she is more nervous then cryinglook Solja.
I think it is because he missed a lot of quite obvious points for him. Most of time he took first initative in action or were close to take over but finally he missed a shot.
