I have now played table tennis actively for almost two years now. And after a good while with the Primorac Off- and Mark V on both sides, i found that i lack in pace of the game. My strongest hand i definitely my forehand. Even with pretty slow equipment i find my loops to be powerful and consistent. My backhand however is not the strongest. I do have a good backhand technique for my topspin, drive and blocks. However in match games i find that i usually use my backhand to open the attacks, however when i end up in the midgame i find myself doing a lot of punchblocks wich i noticed lacks in speed in order to do an suprise and impact the game. Usually my punch blocks is used to build up for my forehand attacks, but now since i'm now my level of playing has increased i find that even tho my topspins are good and has very powerful spin. It all lacks in pace even tho i use a good technique for the forehand and backhand.
Therefore i am now thinking about upgrading my equipment. But all of the equipment reviews is making my slightly confused. I'm not sure if i should go for a carbon setup or for a fast controlled wooden blade like the Intensity NCT. I like the feeling in the wooden blades, but i think i need the pace of a carbon blade. After trying the Viscaria i found that i didn't like the lack of feeling i got from it. I would like a blade that is faster than my current primorac, but has a good feeling aswell.
The rubber choice isn't much easier. The best fit for my backhand playing style would probably be the Mantra M from stiga. But as the DNA series has come out, i find it hard to settle with a choice. Generally speaking, i'm looking for a fast and controllable rubber for my backhand. For my forehand i have been thinking about maybe upgrading to the Hurricane 3 Neo as i already have a very powerful forehand stroke. I would like more spinny rubber than what i currently got with a lower throw angle and harder sponge.
Generally speaking i'm not sure what to go for to upgrade from my setup do you have any recommendations for my playingstyle?
