Hello everyone,
I started out playing with MX-P and Tenergy 05 rubbers when I first began, spending a lot of time practicing serves. Over time, I developed serves that gave my opponents a really hard time, sometimes even players 200–300 rating points above me.
As I improved, I switched to Dignics 09c and focused more on my open game and receive skills, which got significantly better. However, I noticed an issue with my serves: they often ended up too high over the net, or my placement was slightly off. While Dignics provides a lot of spin, I realized that spin isn't always the most critical factor in my serves.
Eventually, I decided to switch to a non-tacky rubber on my forehand with a harder sponge, Tenergy 05 Hard. Since then, my serves have started to shine again. Though my open game is slightly less effective compared to when I used Dignics 09c, I feel this setup better suits my level of play.
I understand that pros prioritize counterloops, but at my level, I don’t encounter situations where it’s crucial often enough to make it a priority.
Have any of you experienced similar issues? If so, how did you address them?
