I found a setup I really liked during black friday. I got the stiga pure blade with xiom vega elite 2.0 on both sides. Got the more dense feeling I was after, added speed and nice control.

I am well on my way but I am eying a xiom blade. The hayabusa off pro has me intrigued.

I had the chance to play a bit today and exaggerated my movements and it did help but still, the gewo blade and rubbers ar a bit on the slow side for my taste.

Thanks, that is interesting. So what you are saying is that more physical activity is good? I was taught (25 years ago) that smaller and tighter movements are better. Avoid doing tennis movements.

Hi! I have started playing again after 25 years and the equipment game has changed and evolved. I started out buying a stiga allround classic cybershape with friendship 729 fx rubbers. Had a hard time dealing with the opponents spin. On the forehand it felt like I didn't have time and had to...
