Hi,As I wrote before, serving spin is normal, and anything at low to medium impact is, too. Same rubbers.
I’m not as high a level player as you, I own a couple of Viscaria’s and I have tested T05 T19 etc on the Viscaria’s. My lack of technique means I don’t get full spin potential out of those rubbers on a Viscaria ( and likely other rubbers as well ) especially at higher impact.
Recently I’ve been taking coaching lessons regularly. Using an all wood blade, rubbers used Donic Bluestorm Z2 and Z3, I can produce high / v high spin with a good brush v backspin on both wings.
Whilst practicing BH topspin I was producing what I ‘thought’ good spin, BUT there was more available, on 2 or 3 shots the coach commented ‘really fast kick forward’ and the impact FELT different. So I have a ‘FEEL’ to concentrate on, to get the additional spin. This ‘FEEL’ was not the ‘NORMAL’ feel I usually get. The basic technique is the same, but the grip pressure, wrist snap through, timing of these at impact was more precise. The stuff Der is talking about.
I’m not saying that your technique is poor, far from it, BUT the equipment only does what you ask of it, Perhaps the Harimoto set up needs to be ‘asked’ in a slightly different way???
Just like my BH topspin stroke!!!
