Perhaps the members of the forum can help me.
I have been playing for about a year. I consider my level somewhere between intermediate and advanced. I play mostly on Saturdays.
I try to model my forehand after Ma Long, I try to loop every ball with spin and speed. I have been working hard to get more power on that stroke, and in the mirror it is definitely looking better. I try to model my backhand after something between Dima Ovtcharov and FZD. When I am not hitting blistering loops that bend the fabric of space time, I mostly block the ball but really hard to put pressure on my opponent. I try to make ALL my serves have as much spin as possible because obviously THAT is the way to make them more effective.
Right now I am using a Zhang Jike sZLC blade with Tenergy 05 on both sides. A friend who says he knows a pro player has boosted the rubber for me.
One little problem though is that a lot of my balls go off the table. That is, except the ones that go into the net, and my other friend who only plays in the basement and who uses much crappier equipment has some serves that I have trouble returning and so they must be illegal.
I am looking to fix all these issues this by getting new equipment.
I am thinking about switching to MX-P or maybe Dignics on my backhand and switching to some sort of Hurricane National rubber for my forehand. Also, maybe a Mituzani ZLC would be better. Or a Timo Boll ZLC. If I get the Hurricane, what is the best way to boost it to make it as fast as possible?
Thanks in advanced for your help.

Oh, one other thing. How much more time should I spend practicing my forehand loop?
