Hi guys,
in my previous post I asked you guys for table tennis racket suggestions for a beginner, so I bought the Yinhe Earth 3 blade with 2 Palio AK47 rubbers (Red and Blue) from Princett. After 1 month of waiting the racket finally arrived and it turned out to be way faster than expected. I can no longer do proper forehand drives (using weight-shifting and full elbow extension) without the ball either going very fast or just flying off the table. I have asked around in my table tennis club and people have confirmed my fear that this racket is too fast for someone new and I will probably not be able to develop proper fundamentals with it.
What should (or can) I do right now? I have spent all of my saving to buy the thing and now I feel thoroughly depressed with this racket.
