1 HR AGO - 999 is the grippiest rubber on Earth. So yes, very sensitive to spin. Try something more forgiving like Focus 3 Snipe.On the flip side (from a penholder's perspective). Shakehands greatest strength is the backhand topspin, I wouldn't give up spin producing abilities for an easier time. Practice more, all serves can be returned.I'm practising shakehand lately and chose short pips forehand but the spinniest and fastest rubbers I can control on the backhand.Statistics: Posted by lasta — 23 Oct 2019, 02:28 Collapse

It comes in Medium and Soft versions so you could choose the one that suits you more.I don't think that rubber tackiness means more spin sensitivity. In fact, it's easier for me to return serves with tacky rubbers compared to tensors since they aren't bouncy in short game.I'm also testing with SP but so far no luck, that's why going back to a control inverted.The problem with researching is that I get a lot of conflicting info, I was 100% sure that 999 Super 999T will help my backhand as it was tacky, slow and also quite good at looping but today after a bit of research I find that tacky rubbers are also sensitive to incoming spin like tensors.Statistics: Posted by ooak1102 — 22 Oct 2019, 22:50 Collapse

5 HRS AGO - My current setup is TSPW + Nittaku Fastarc G1 + Rakza 7(backhand). I'm struggling with serve returns as Rakza 7 seems to be very reactive and also my backhand looping, though consistent, still lacks in spin and during games, under pressure, my backhand topspin goes long. So I'm looking to slow down my backhand a little bit, so two questions,1. Nittaku Fastarc G1 vs Rakza 7 - which is better for forehand - I'm comfortable with both in forehand, which is better?2. Suggest a good control backhand rubber, which will help me in returning serves better but is also good for looping. I know that imparting spin and spin reactivity is directly related but please suggest a good options. I thought tacky rubbers for backhand would help but after researching found out that tacky also equals more spin sensitivity, is this true? Thoughts on 999 super 999T or a soft chinese rubber for backhand? I'm choosing Chinese because of budget constraints.Statistics: Posted by ooak1102 — 22 Oct 2019, 22:19 Collapse

What position? Pole or offset? I am concerned.Edited by icontek - 5 minutes ago at 12:37pm Collapse
