Hi , i have been playing tt for 1 yeat now and i have learnt a lot of techniques. However , the other day my teacher told me to change my blade and the rubbers so i wondered , is it right to choose a rubber or blade when i dont have all the techniques ?? For example, i told my teacher that i like to hit the ball with my forehand , so he recommmended me a hard rubber but i dont know if i like to hit the ball because my lack of technique making spins or because  i really like to hit the ball.

So my question is . How do i know if the problem is my technique or the peoblem is my rubber? Can i decide my way of playing in one year ?

Hi Mariano,

What rubber and blade are you using at the moment and what are you thinking of changing to?

blade schilkrodt for begginers, the same as both rubbers, schilkrodt (i dont know the model) but they have a lot of control and little hit. My teacher told me to change it for a blade diablo senso with a normal vario in the forehand and acuda s3 in rhe backhand. The thing is that i like to hit the ball with the forehand and i have good technique in the backhand to make spin.

Hi Mariano,

I think you can move up to this combination now.  The Schildkrot bat would not be helping you much with your technique now.  The new bat will give you a bit more spin and speed but still allow you enough control to develop your game.

Teh actual combination doesn't matter so much, it is just finding something a little faster with more spin.  This is as good a choice as any.
