Really really annoying thing. Most people now even not trying to play with me, just push or wrist chop anything I sent to them, it comes as high back spin, and I cant make it over the net, it's always around half of net, although I almost dislocate shoulder during my loop. Was on tournament today, where all players had only two shots, push with occasional fh loop, of course all with off blades and tenergy class rubbers. Although I have all possible shots for attacker, seems that my equipment really limits me. I always used soft rubbers like sriver fx 1.9, few times I asked my ex coach to recommend equipment for my play style, but answer was simply 'you have to find what suits to you' so I stayed with srivers fx. For last 6-7 months I play with bryce fx 1.9 on fh, just wanted to try something faster. But both rubbers I play mostly unglued, and in combination with current not so fast and very flexible blade, result is that I struggle against any pusher, one loop will go into net, while another one will go 3 meters longer than table. Really annoying, because I'm trying to be most aggressive player in my quality rank, with flips, flats, smashes, loops, and blocks, mostly using 3rd ball attack, but...everything goes into net :(
I think it was different once, in past I had always advantage against pushers (but I had faster harder stiffer blade), now I can hardly beat even pusher beginner by using loops, can only if I push better than he. I think I have at least two times slower equipment that anybody else here, slow flexy blade and unglued sriver fx 1.9, against off carbon and tenergies/coppa silvers, max. One old guy, pusher of course, tried my bat and said 'oh God, how slow it is...'. He uses some off carbon with andro hexers. Probably I have bad equipment for close to table attacking play . Ordered Waldner carbon senso blade from Dandoy, hope it will come soon and help... now just to find adequate rubbers...
