I had a chat with a more advanced player about playing with fast blades and bouncy rubbers and I am a bit confused if there are more ways to prevent the ball going too long beyond the table except my angle of the blade and the amount of topspin I create. Let's say a ball comes at me with substantial speed and plenty of topspin. If I want to counter it with a topspin without sending 2 meters beyond the table, the only way seems to close the blade completely and brush the very top of the ball, especially with hybrid rubbers like Rakza Z and Dignics 09C. I think Dima mentioned in one of this review videos on Dignics 09C that he has to hold the blade parallel to the floor after changing to these rubbers.
I would be very grateful for some insights of playing with bouncy rubbers/fast blades and keeping the ball on the table.
