Does equipment change make you a better or worse player??
For some players it can make a huge difference!! More so with a ‘major’ change, let’s say from BH inverted to Bh SP. for some it’s good for others it’s bad!!
So as a recent re-starter to TT, and having used a reasonably high ( some may say- unreasonable!!) amount of different rubbers and blades, especially over the last 10 months since COVID kicked in.
Has using different rubbers and blades made me a better player?-
NO, but it has made me more knowledgeable.
What equipment has helped me improve?
BUYING A TABLE AND ROBOT !!! This has definitely improved my play, especially with serving!! But really all having a table and robot has done is given me the chance TO PLAY AND PRACTICE MORE.
THIS is the real point - PLAY, PRACTICE, LEARN, (no matter how old or young you are) THIS WILL TRUELY HELP YOU IMPROVE - but you gotta commit yourself and be prepared for a possible decline in standard until the Training really kicks in, DON’T GIVE IN !!!
AS SAID PREVIOUSLY BY OTHERS TREAT PRODUCT REVIEWS WITH A DEGREE OF SKEPTICISM they are a ‘personal impression’ and level / ability / experience of the reviewer are important.
HOWEVER ‘YOU DON’T KNOW UNTIL YOU USE SOMETHING’
you can only guess and assume, in general terms a lot of experienced players will know the ‘field park’ of a new rubbers performance by its general description. But not possibly what it will excel at ( if it does excel at anything!!)
You can tailor your equipment to your personal needs once you know your style, strengths and weaknesses.
lastly - CONFIDENCE !!!
THIS PLAYS A HUGE PART OF PERFORMANCE.
So confidence and mental standing is very important, if you are not confident with your equipment, then this will affect how you perform.
