Hi Alois,
I'm kind of a backhand-oriented player. I like to block, counterhit and short push but I have a lousy forehand. I think I need more control and better feel. I'm thinking of getting either Mark V or Sriver. Can you tell me which one is good for me and how thick?
I'm also getting a carbon blade with decent feel and control. I don't need a lot of speed, just enough. Should I get the Donic Waldner Carbon Senso, Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon Senso or Donic Ovtcharov Soft Carbon? Feel free to suggest any other blades.
Thank you.
Hi Anthony,
There is very little difference in performance between Mark V and Sriver. Get whichever one you can get cheaper.
As for blades I really haven’t played with them so it is really hard for me to tell. Others that may have used them may be able to help you out. Again I don’t think it will make a huge difference.

Thanks Alois. How thick should they be then?

Probably 2mm is good.

I think Donic Waldner Carbon Senso as I've used it from my friend's giving 6 months ago, and I'm feeling more comfortable on using it to counter swing ( as it is my favourite counterhit ) rather than others

Thanks man. Just curious, what's your favourite setup?

Hi Anthony,
I use the PingSkills Touch with Vega Pro at the moment.

Anthony,
What's your meaning by setup?? Is it my type of playing or else?

I meant your equipment

My equipment is Donic Waldner Carbon Senso, as it's have more grip on the surface that makes me easier to do the swing forehand topspin on lesser degree when on the air..
