best forehand rubber

Mark V gives you a great feel...

one of the best to start top spinning the ball and has excellent control.

i used to have some begginer rubber named Gki dragon and tried to learn topspin but now after i replaced with mark v and frendship it took my game to the next level.

Now i am gona switch to butterfly challenger and  donic sonex gold

Simple fact is, more speed/spin means less control.
More speed/spin rubber/blade adds, more skilly touch must be.

Mark V and Sriver L are just reliable. You almost always get the same sheet as your previous was and they are not as fast and spinny as so called tensior ones.

Often new player comes to my club and they have mark V's on their OFF blades, they will not develope their tech, because for them mark V plays for itself.
Then usually I will step on other side of table with no sponge 2 US bat.
After first 11:0 set they ask what is their problem.
Simple answer is, they are unable to develope even simpliest stroke, because mark V's speed is too fast.

It doesnt matter do I loose because I couldnt get ball onto table or because my shot is too slow, but I will definitely have better chance, if I get another hit.

Mark iv and Sriver have been around for years very good for keeping the ball in play and allround play. Still very popular. 

hove you tried the new STIGA CALIBRA TOUR S,M,H I saw in TableTennisDaily their review and i`m going t post it here ? agree o disagree

A good quality all round blade with 1.5 MK 5 or Sriver on either side, then just practice. The main thing you need at the start is control, not speed and spin.

Once your technique has developed, try a slightly faster rubber on the forehand, same blade, same backhand rubber. This is my coaches recommendation, and makes a lot of sense.

If you change too many things at once, you won't know where you are- all you're doing is feeding the coffers of the equipment manufacturers, which is ultimately what they want, and you'll become more and more frustrated. Don't rely on the equipment to win the game- as Jeff said, develop the technique first, then look at upgrading your equipment. Previous world champions have used MK 5 and Sriver, so they are definitely not kindergarten level rubbers.

Start with a basic all round setup, and go from there. Everyone's style and technique is different.

As for beasts that are going to tear you apart- are we still talking table tennis? 

Hi Coach Alois and Jon. I strongly agreed with you. "Good control come first, power, speed and spin come later." I do have a slight differences in the rubber used (at beginner stage (probably can do 8 forehand loops consistently before errors): I was using tenergy) , however, I adhere to the rule of thumb : "Control". I was just doing the looping action without power at all, and I was using the power provided by the rubber. It works for me as I do not need to concentrate on generating power for the ball to go over. I will primarily focus on the accuracy of the looping action.

Currently, I am considered an intermediate with Tenergy 80 on my forehand and Tenergy 64 on my backhand. Power-based player.

mark is good i am using it
