what are the advantages of switching from european rubbers to chinese rubbers?
forehand focused
Thx!

And a couple things to remember is that chinese learns from childhood to rely more on the body weight transfer for power. They do also learn to relax more, which alows energy to flow more freely through the body (and brain).

Exactly. It will be very exhausting. Even more reason to remember to relax the body between the hits. I recommend more training than usual in the beginning at least.Agreed, it requires some training to get the best of those. It requires contacting the ball a little bit thinner. Some training during the change will be needed, and results won't be good at the beginning.
Gives you more time for the ball to stay on the bat, more power potential, and they response better to the booster. Any of those characteristics have their shortcomings. They will be less powerful when less force is applied.
And of course some extra practice will Also help. If you have the posibilty to get an extra 30 min at practice, then spend that time on service, if you don't already do this of courseI want to try it with a viscaria blade and hurricane 3 neo ( provincial, orange sponge)
I usually open slowly with a lot of effect and then try to speed up with the forehand or backhand. I also currently make few / no points with service and receive service. I hope the rubber and blade would help me with that. I have a good level in the Belgian series but nobody plays with chinese rubbers here so it is quite unknown to me.
Get a commercial Neo H3 for $20. It will get you started. Nothing come close to H3 spin.
If you want a smoother transition, go for Yinhe Big Dipper 38 deg or something like that. I think that's a good rubber on the way to DHS Hurricane 3 41 deg. In my opininon, the harder Chinese rubbers demand a stiffer carbon blade to get the full potential out of 'em.
I could imagine that a head-heavy 5.8 - 6 mm all-wood blade could be quite ideal (not for children though) as well. You'll get more Energy transfered from the weight when the blade flexes when looping. For a tacky rubber that already holds they ball pretty well, a lively flexy blade probably wouldn't be an issue. Of course a blade with harder outers than limba will give some more directness behind the rubbers as well.I don’t think that it’s totally true that the harder Chinese rubbers ‘demand’ a stiff carbon blade, when first starting out / learning I think an all wood all round blade is usually preferred for the beginners by their coaches. this way they can learn the technique better, then once a certain skill level has been reached, an upgrade in blade takes place, usually for a faster blade, possibly carbon, possible all wood.
The Viscaria is popular and has been used by many players, but some prefer all wood versions, and I think they like to retain good ‘feel’ through the blade, and some flex. Long 5 is fast(ish) carbon blade but has softer feel than many carbon blades. Long 3 is all wood and has a reputation for being excellent for Chinese rubbers.
But with blades it’s really a personal preference that counts!!
