How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

[SpinWins]

Lucky I have coaching so I will see how he thinks i should use the strength I have on fh. I will try the chinese and give it some weeks If I don't like I will put joola back on fh.

i do have a strong fh drive so maybe thats why t05 played lower for me.

 

[SpinWins]

coach wants me to switch to a FH serve. He also want me to loop thin more and not hit so flat and drive to cut down errors. so maybe this hurricane 3 can help there. my coach is chinese so he teach that style. I did no mention the rubber to him, but i will just put it on monday and see how it goes.

you cant loop thin with chinese tacky rubber, you hit it flat and use the tackiness to really brush the ball

You can - everyone does things a little differently and describes what they are doing differently so without video, don't let this become semantic.

Yes, you explain it better than me.

I need to add spin and swing a little more up rather than through. that is what we work on plus the fh service, which i am not comfortable with yet, but excited to learn.

If anyone has good link to shake hand forehand service videos I would appreciate it. Want to study the take back and elbow position, especially on the sidespin service. Having trouble finding anything.

Glad you got what I mean.

Just remember, to achieve 'add spin and swing a little more up', you have to start your body low and drop your arm (around knee level), it will allow you to really hit and brush the ball

There's no better video than Chinese National player demonstrating himself

This is great, thank you. I will work on copying some of those.

the thing I am trying to remember is he show me a sidespin serve that has the blade come into the body instead of reverse pendulum. the elbow has to be out for the angle to work. it is a good serve but we only work on it for a few minutes.

this is now not a rubber discussion though so if i have questions ill make a topic in the technique area.

Once I recover from this broken rib and my arms get back up to speed after beeing inflamed, ill post some thaughts in the reviewcenter on the Big Dipper boosted and unboosted.
Ill compare it to:
H3 neo boosted.
Rakza 9 boosted and unboosted and the Rakza 7 and 7s boosted and unboosted.
Ive experimented with changing the rubbers around on my two Bandas.
If I was to play a game today id choose the euro rubber setup just to feel safe. The big dipper has advantages in some areas but my personal opinion is that it needs help to get on par with the euro rubbers in other areas.

Here is a difference in how the Big Dippers sponge reacts to paraffin vs the Rakza 7 sponge. (Both were snug fit cut before removed. Here boosted with 5 layers each.)

Big Dipper

Rakza 7

Interesting note:
This time, both the Big Dipper and the Rakza 9 grew more horizontal than vertical. The Rakza 7 and 7s grew abouth the same on both axis..

WTF 5 layers??? plus it's paraffin lol... isnt that 'rubber equals destroyed' already?

The rubbers dome a bit but not as much as others ive seen.

I always let one coat "dry" so you notice how it effects the rubber. This time it needed 5 coats.
3 seldome does the trick with this booster I use.

Just checked. The big dipper is nearly lifting my bat-weight. [emoji43] (A 1978 acoustic bass amplifier)

Just a thought. Do you know any pro outside CNT using an H3-like rubber?

There are a few others. Thomas Keinath.

H3 will be here tomorrow. I think it is good timing since I am switch to fh serve. i have decided to commit to learning the fh service (under and side to start), so i will lose matches for a while until i get it right.

The son of my coach told me that Paul Drinkhall used to use Hurricane some time ago.

 

[mahomedy13]

The best is to try out for yourself,and what you feel very comfortable with,expand on that

 

[bobpuls]

For me it was dhs hurricane 8 or dhs tg2 better for serves ....i have more spin with them then with h3 and also there is more control then in h3
