Donic Akkadi L2

Hector Vallejos Asked 12 years ago

Hi guys!

I have started using Donic Akkadi L2 with long pimples with 0.6mm rubber  Instead of OX variant.

Fabian Åkerström Sweden's best player right now using Akkadi. I wanted to ask for some advice regarding playing style. I'm really offensive, I will be able to use Akkadi (backhand) in some offensive situations? I've tried for a while now, and have difficulty with smash, however, it is very efficient when I chop against an attack, usually I wins.

Also has a little difficulty with serve returns (backhand), ends up in the net too often. Should I abandon this rubber?. I have used so far Stiga Magna TS II on both sides, and my racket is a butterfly Grubba Carbo (large sweetspot). That I said I'm pretty off player, but after seeing Fabian play became fascinated of how he was able to win many points with his backhand (Akkadi L2).

It was a lot, but maybe you can still give me some tips.

Thank you again

Héctor

Hi Héctor,

This rubber only suits a certain type of player.  If you like to attack on the backhand, then it is probably best to use an inverted rubber on the backhand.
