Equipment
I remember playing with hurricane 3 last time, my forehand strokes were just rocket speed. Then when I changed to Skyline tg3, my forehand got worse and worse, then when I changed back to hurricane after 4 months of playing with the skyline, my forehand was once again very dominant. So I do have a feeling that the rubber plays a huge part in people's performance. What do you think?
Hi Jasper,
I don't think it makes a huge difference normally as long as you have something that is reasonably suited to your level. I don't know the performance differences between the two rubbers but there must be something that makes you feel more comfortable with the Hurricane 3.
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Perhaps it's the heavy amounts of spin and control(a lot of safety)
