Andrea, you inspired me to try to play with my Megablock. I hadn't played with it for a while. I drew a perfect vacuum. ( That is headed engineer speak for I sucked ). My anti hitting was awful. Just bouncing the ball back wasn't winning me any points because my practice partner has lots of playing against my LP or Anti. I found I had to play more like your style where I had to move and use my FH to win points. What worked well was blocking short to the sides just behind the net. When I get a weak return I can move fast enough so that I can kill with my FH.
I decided that Megablock or any friction-less anti didn't fit my personality, too passive, so I removed it and put on 1.5mm Yasaka Anti Power, YAP. YAP has more friction but then I could return "running serves" with a chop was only marginally effective but better than with friction-less anti. I would try to chop deep. Otherwise I was trying to block left and right and angles and just behind the net until I could get a FH attack.
So friction-less anti is not the right rubber for me. I really don't think it is the right rubber for you. We'll see.
