Hey guys,
Just wanted your opinion on some things:
I played the last years since plastic balls emerged with harder rubbers. I always played with T05fx or similar hardness and changed to Tenergy05 range. I tried Rhyzer 48, Gewo nexus 48 EL,R47,R48,Dynaryz ACC.(You know the medium hard 47-48 ESN range)
Now I play very well with these rubbers, my topspin is a lot harder and faster and has more spin and my overall game is faster and more aggressive.
But 1 thing I tend to notice is, when I make a topspin mistake it's always because I overshoot the ball.
It's never much , the ball always misses by less then 20 cm or sometimes just misses the edge of the table.
Now it doesn't happen much, 90% of my topspins are on the table so I always dismissed these balls by faulty technique,lack of focus etc.
But what bugs me is, that it is always an overshooting ball. I never ever miss a ball by shooting into the net.
Shouldn't a missed ball by like 70% overshooting 30% in the net etc, some kind of balance??
And not 100% shooting over the edge of the table?
And yes it happens more often on hard and fast topspins but it also happens on soft controlled spins sometimes.
I play TT for more then 20 years now so my technique is not gonna change a lot.
My question to you guys is:
Can this maybe be solved by changing to softer rubbers? Since softer rubbers are a bit slower.
Or maybe thinner rubber ? I always play with Max thickness.
Or is it normal that when you play high risk that balls sometimes overshoot?
