Current Blade: Joola Chen Weixing

Current Forehand: Tenergy 05 2.1

Current Backhand:
TSP Curl P1r 0.6

Question: "I'm interested in Spin Art. I am a typical modern defender who mostly loops on the fh, and chops on the bh. I was wondering if Spin Art would be a good rubber for me considering it is said to have more spin, which would also help my pips side to maintain more spin on the chop.

Does spinart counterloop well enough and have more control? Would that warrant the change from Tenergy 05 to Spin Art for me?"


Answer: Hi Teddy

I am always interested in trying new equipment to see if it will better suit my game-sometimes it works and others, well I think you understand. I like Tenergy 05, many of my students play with it but all close to mid distance and play offensively. Although I am all around offensive player, I also play a chopping defensive style using completely different racket. Like you, I have pip’s on my backhand and Tackifire Special Soft on my forehand to both chop and attack. Although I tried variety of rubbers on my forehand, I settled on Tackifire because I am “comfortable” with it.

If you believe you have lot more room to progress and the time to experiment, it won’t hurt to try and find out if it can better find your comfort zone.
