Hi everyone.
I'm 44 years old, and started training table tennis at a club 2 years ago only.
I'm essentially a forehand player, but since I started training, I enjoyed and felt the improvement on my backhand, when we're looping.
But the true is, I rarely use that stroke on an actual game.
I fell that, almost every time, I loose the point, or at least I'm immediatly on a weak position, when receiving the serve.
I already discussed this with coach, and we worked on service receiving, but I think I need much more work on that stroke.
Anyways, speaking about equipment. My blade is a Xiom Offensive S, and last year, I used a Tibhar FX-P and a DHS Hurricane 3 (unboosted).
Most of the times, I use the Hurricane for forehand and the FX-P for backhand.
But neither of these helped me on my receiving services problem. DHS is so hard, it's nearly impossible, but even with FX-P I struggle a lot.
I'm obviously looking at ways to train more and improve my receiving, but maybe you can suggest me a rubber that also improves my weakness!
Looking forward for your opinions!
