More arc / tensor

[GarField000]

Hi All.
First a little introduction ...

I played for a long time with Andro frames with carbon. The best one for me was the Andro Kanter FO. Very light and good balance.
I used chinese tacky rubbers.

But 1 1/2 year ago I switched to long pimples Ox. I do attack with it, and I am learning to twiddle.
The carbon frames where no good for my long pimples. I than tried about 6/7 frames till I came to the Stiga Cybershape Wood version.
The balance in my hand is great, and the control with the pimples is amazing. I can attack and i have a good feel.

But i'm struggelling with my FH rubber. I first tried a rubber that was very linear because I am close tot the table and the most attacking shots are just hard smash/spin.
I setup higher balls with the pimples so I can finish it with FH (of BH). But the higer level I come, the more people play with less spin as a tactic. It's killing for my game if the opponent does not use much spin. In the service I don't mind I can work with that, but not in the rally. If the ball comes back with a lot of backspin I can attack with my pimples.

So I am testing rubbers so I can attack with topspin more. Not the high balls because I dan do that now. But fast topspins. I first had the Tibhar Evolution FX-S. I tried the FX-D and MX-S and tried the Tibhar hybrid MK. It does not change much. So now i'm testen the Andro Rasanter R48 becuase that onse was to bouncy for me when I used the carbon frames.
But now ... not realy . Maybe it's because off the frame. But I don't want a carbon frame because I lose control with the pimples.

What rubbers should I try in the hopes it does create more arc so I can topspin close ot the table.

Probably MX-S is about as good as it gets. Sure you can Andro or Donic or Gewo whatever but don't expect too much of a difference.
You could also try Tenergy 05 if you want a beautiful arc, but I'm not sure if it's worth it over MX-S.

If tweaking equipment isn't working, maybe you should also look at tweaking your technique.
Forehand topspin technique.
maybe some small fix here and there could be your solution

Imo, Tenergy 05 is the benchmark for arc. Plus all of the good defenders I know use Tenergy 05 with a great success.

I agree Tony, it is also technique. I never do real topspins but I want to be better at it.
this summer I am working on that ... maybe the rasanter is good enough but my technic is still the old way.

I did try the MX-S once. Will look at my notes why I don't use it anymore.
** I changed from MX-S to FX-S because it was to fast on the Victas Koki Niwa frame. Maybe it works on this one.

I never used Butterfly because it's so much more expensive than other rubbers. But I can give it a try

thx for all the sugestions
