I need advice for Fh rubber which make easier creating first loop from backspin. And what are disadvantages for such rubber.
I do not like my current rubber because i think it has too low throw angle, many topspins land in the net.
Sali,
How about Donic Baracuda? High throw angle, very good price. Only a bit slow if you compare it with Tenergy 05.
Springy or spinny rubbers are not as forgiving of errors.
Lifting back spin is a matter of technique and matching the back spin on the ball with the tangential upwards motion of the paddle. If you do this you can return back spin with anything.
There are two things that get in the way off making good returns.
Getting into position.
Swinging too early and reaching forward instead of waiting to swing more upwards.
The best rubber I know for looping backspin is Tibhar MX-S. It is fairly hard and slower vs. topspin, but if you power loop often and move fast, it is extremely rewarding - fantastic spin.
NextLevel, what made you decide to switch back to Baracuda?
