Choosing equipments based on my style

[Zvokovski Kuznetzova]

All approved rubbers are 4.0mm total thickness. So 2.2mm sponge plus 1.8mm rubber topsheet = 4.0mm total. (I took a guess on the topsheet thickness).

So, how's the new racket? Have you practiced with it yet?

Sure! Not much changed from my older ones (still being "chinese" lol xD) - i.e. I have to play full stroke, and yes also bring my body with it (wew that was tiring) but i feel more consistent (because the blade is kinda level up from my dhs?), it does pretty much everything i asked for, can comprehend with my style (mid to far from table, forehand topspin looping rallies and parties [emoji482][emoji483][emoji322])

Whenever I tired and only want to do lazy stroke, i use red (vega euro i use for BH) as my forehand (and yes) being "european" I can totally feel the difference (between "chinese" and "european") I mean, wow..no wonder all my friends are picking "european" path.


But as usual (as I experienced with my older one too) I don't do defence (chop) pretty good (i don't really sure whether because my rackets aren't really for def, or it's just me who can't chop properly). But blocking is decent, i feel i can block more ferocious shot than before (older one feels kinda..hollow? When contacting the fast ball)

I've done the same, but for me balls hit with Big Dipper are nowhere nearly as powerful as the Jupiter 2 :|

So you're saying Jupiter II > Big Dipper in term of power/speed?

No. For my feeling, Big Dipper has more speed with less power inputs, but Jupiter 2 has more power with big power input.

For your curiosity I measured my Jupiter 2 and it is 3.7mm (which is actually thicker than Big Dipper which measures 3.4~3.5mm)

So in other words, to excel (with Chinese) we need explosive power and legit motion to pull it off.

However, for a less power, European excels because it's (kinda) enhanced (tensor, etc), and provides a larger margin of error (except for "ellite" European family like tenergy, yeah sure they don't give you chance to mess around) ?
