Hi guys,

I have been playing for 10 months now and I had a feeling I needed to upgrade my equipment. So I did, My first rubbers were 61 seconds dst lightning 1.8 on FH Tibhar Vari spin 1.5 on BH and Donic Epoxpowerallround is my blade. I bought the Friendship 729 bloom power 2.2 for my FH and I bought the Butterfly Rozena 1.9-2.0 for my BH.
My blade is still the same. But I am noticing that I am having a harder time opening backspin balls with my FH. My coach said I had to close my bat angle more but it still feels weird. I read somewhere that it isn't smart to have a stiff blade with a hard rubber so I thought maybe that's why it feels so weird. I wanted to know if my blade is too stiff or not and I would like it if you could help decide what I should do. And if my backhand rubber isn't too fast.

Thanks

For now, try a softer sponged modern rubber. You are around a lot of players and a coach or three. You shold be able to score a used rubber to tryout on FH and you have access to try other players' bats that have different stuff. This method is free, give it a shot.

With enough trying, you will discover the softness and type of rubber suitable for you.
