If you're used to H3, I think you should look for a more light weight rubber with similar properties, but more easy to play with. To change to Tenergy or something like that would make you change your technique quite much in the looping game. My son have used H3 on forehand since he started play table tennis, and I know that other younger players master H3 really good. The main thing about why a coach suggest a tensor to a player that's used to a Chinese rubber, I guess is that they don't know how they work. I believe that the coach might rethink and understand that all players aren't the same, and if he should coach he should learn about all materials and achieve the ability to see what every player needs as an individual.
But I guess you could look at more linear rubbers that are a bit more light weight, and then they will be a bit softer as well. If you like the offensive game, check out these below.
Yinhe - Mercury II Medium (Tacky, and a bit slow) approx 43-45g cut
729 - Focus III Snipe 44deg (untacky) approx 43-45g cut
729 - Presto Max Spin (untacky) approx 45g cut
Pimplepark - Epos (tacky and soft) mild catapult
Sanwei - Taiji Light (semi tacky)
Sanwei - Gear Hyper (untacky) 37deg could be good and approx 46-47g cut
Yinhe - Moon 12 Blue & Green if you could use these colors on FH
Giant Dragon - TopEnergy (tacky) could be approx 42-44g cut

That the technique differentiates between Chinese and european rubbers is not true in my opinion. Every rubber plays different and needs adjustment from the player. The perfect technique with weight transfer action in elbow and wrist etc. stays pretty consistent. Just the trajectory of the arm and maybe the angle of the blade changes but technique stays quite similar in my opinion.
Yes I meant Glayzer.
It is the rozena to the dignics line up.
The issue is all of us are recommending stuff but nobody knows for what. Just because you say your forehandloop is a 10/10 does not mean it is. If it would be you could easily play viscaria and H3.
Without a video or fotos every recommendation is just guessing what could be good. Maybe nothing written here would work for you.
I coach and get coaching myself, and rozena has been a very good developing rubber for my players.
But rozena and viscaria will be very fast and bouncy it will be hard to control in the short game.
Still very good rubber
Do you know the cut weight of Sanwei - Taiji Light Version.
Thank you sir.
Best regards,

As soon as you want to. Just be realistic about it, playing Vis with H3 is a powerful combination that requires solid technique.
That also means you can learn a lot from it.
If you keep at it, you will notice you get used to the weight and the precise nature of the equipment.
It’s all up to you and your coach. For most players I would say it’s not necessary to use it before 2000 rating. Though if you like it you can switch before.
A more controlled and slower blade will allow you to better focus on the technique to produce power rather than having it from the blade.
My guess would be 2-3 years with a wooden offensive blade then if your opponent keeps getting the ball back on your loops and attacks. Then maybe it’s time for Viscaria or an innerforce style

Viscaria is not a magic weapon. It's a crisp, elastic, reactive blade. It's not a matter of when you're ready to use it, it's a matter of getting used to it. And as long as you don't overshoot or net the majority of your balls, and you're willing to take the temporary performance hit while making the switch, there's no better time than right now if this is the blade you want to end up with.

I know the weight of one I used. It's 44g cut to a normal blade.

Well. Sure you could use the same technique with a tacky Chinese rubber and a European rubber, but you will not get the best out of the rubbers. European rubbers with a more bouncy sponge and a more elastic topsheet is a much better rubber to drive/loop with than doing hard brush loops with because the sponge and the topsheet are made for a more flat kind of game with higher initial speed.
A tacky Chinese rubber with a more dense, not that bouncy sponge and a more firm topsheet will give you the most effect when brushing hard or at least almost brush the ball (full arm movement), as the dense sponge and the firm topsheet gives you the best reaction in this hard strokes with closed angle.
I could never use a European rubber, like I use Chinese rubbers and get the same effect from both.
a solid 10/10 on consistency... why change? Just build up your strength if you feel it's heavy. My setup (Clipper/H3neo 40 blue/H8 37) is 180 grams, which is pretty average in weight. I imagine yours shouldn't be too far off in weight.

Because I feel like after 100-150 forehand loops (when practicing) it's very hard to activate and make the ball sink into the rubber unlike d05 on my viscaria which feels very consistent. Before those 100 loops the rubber feels okay though it doesn't sink in as much as i'd like to (most likely due to boosting.) Also could this be because my h3n 39 degrees is almost 8months and has been boosted a lot of times?
