My concern stems from my experience with premades. I've been in those situations where taking a few steps away from the table and the racket bottoms out. Basically, no higher gear. That is what i question when it comes to cheap rubbers. I intend to improve my technique and get better via that. Realistically, I'm never going to reach beyond USAT 2100/2200, not because of lack in skill, technique or physical prowess, rather because of lack of time and training investment. My question is, will these cheap rubbers crap out on me or will they continue to behave decently as i get better? Will my mercury 2 hold up if/when i try to backhand loopdrive 5-10 feet away from the table (with proper form and technique)?
It would hold up for a pro player. Those are hard rubbers. Nevermind you as an amateur you have nothing to worry about bottoming out
