Problem with setup

Equipment

Hi, I have started playing TT after a long time and bought a joola carbon blade with mark v rubbers. My racket generates high speed but virtually doesn't grip for topspins and looping. Even with chopping the ball floats high. Tried my friends joola express rubbers and am able to get the loops perfect and good chops. Is there any way of improving my yasaka rubbers or I need to junk them. Thanks in advance. Cheerio

Hi Pratap,

The Carbon blade will also make it difficult to get good spin because the ball is coming out of the rubber too fast.  Mark V is a good rubber for control.  Perhaps it doesn't suit your game.  Joola Express is a bit faster and a step up. It is just a matter of finding something that suits your game and feel.
