Hi Guys,
last year I picked up tabletennis again after 15 years, I noticed that some things have changed, mainly the ball and tensor rubbers I guess.
I'm an average player with a rating around 1300. I like to attack double wing, spinning as well as driving. Pushing and short play are one of my weaker points. In the past I never played with a composite blade, at the time played with a Donic Waldner Senso V2, pair with Mark V GPS (max) on both sides. I guess I have a preference for the use of soft rubbers cause of spin I generate with it and higher arch as well as the dwell time I need to play consistent top spin shots. I'm using the same material as back then (old blade, new rubbers) and some things stood out to me.
Pros: -Nice spin
-consistency in spinning
-good quality/spin with serve
Con's:-Lack of power (smashing/driving) to kill the point (very important for me)
-quite sensitive to incoming spin
-Blocking feels kinda slow/inconsistent
I've tried to play with some of the harder rubbers, I don't like playing with them. I bought some soft tensor rubbers like Tibhar Evolution FX-P and Rakza 7 soft. Tested it with a composite blade, DHS Hurricane 301, altough it feels crisp, I can't attck the 3rd ball with confidence and consistency, the lower arch makes more difficult for me as well. I've bought a DHS PG-9 and I'm going to test it out tomorrow (don't know what to expect).
I think for now I'll have to stick to an all wood blade, I need a faster one that still offers me the high arch / high dwell time. Any advice what I could use?
