Hey guys . Im looking for equipment recommendation . Currently using korbel with tenergy 80 on both sides . my games is involved around consistent backhand and powerfull forehand atacks meaning if i can i wil play forehand, and backhand is there only to keep the rally going . when i dont get the chance to finish the ball with forehand i play a bit more safe atacks little bit behind the table plus some defence . well what i feel is that its quite hard to open up against backspin with backhand so maybe different rubber would help . and when i play from behind i dont feel i get enough support from the setup to play dangerous atacks . Im a prety thin guy so even if i go 100% with my technigue and power i dont get the result i wish i would get . when i comes to the blade i like it close to the table but awy its just not enough, i played with viscaria and didnt feel like koto outer clicks with my style.

Opening up v backspin with BH, where does the ball go? Do you dump it in the net, or do you hit it too long?
Chances are, this is mostly a matter of timing and technique. Also, when you do switch to slower rubber for the BH it's going to make it harder to put pressure on the opponent.
As for behind the table, being thin is not a problem. The ball is less than 3 grams.
Either you don't hit through the ball enough, or you are not making optimal use of your body to provide the base swing power. Again, nothing to do with being thin.
What could be happening is too much of an upwards swing to force spin.
If that's the case, then not a single piece of equipment will make it better, unfortunately. But, I can't tell this from just a text message. You'd be better off posting a video in here or on the video safe thread.
There's hundreds of suggestions for equipment changes, but I don't think it makes sense to go into that without knowing where the problem really is.

yea i got you . today i tried viscaria again after a year and i pretty much liked it on my backhand much easier to openup against backspin . No problem behind or close to table i might give it a try . and the backhand somehow felt more consistent on viscaria then on the korbel .
