Hi Coaches! So, I just bought a whole new racket just the other day. I have donic bluefire m2 on my forehand and tibhar's grass d techs 1.6mm on my backhand. I changed to long pips due to my affection for chopping. For some reason, mostly when I chop with it , the ball hits the net. Do you guys have an explanation for this? Also, the donic bluefire m2 is very different from my previous rubber, which was not very fast and spinny as the racket was pre-made. When I topspin, most of the balls either end up very close the the opponent's side white line or it will fly out of the table. Do I have to change the angle of my topspin the a lower angle due to the rubber's increased power? (Btw I am using a defensive blade by TSP, Black Balsa 3.0)

Thanks in advanced.

You guys are the best coaches ever!

Hi Fredy,

The Long Pimples will take a little while to get used to.  Just hit a lot of balls with it and see if you get used to the different bounce.  You will adjust.

Also with the forehand, close the angle over to get the ball lower.  The extra speed will take a little adjusting to as well.  Hit a lot of balls with your new bat and you will soon find it will start to work for you.
