Stroke or equipment

I have two sheets of about 4 Old months old Tenergy 64 on my Boll Forte Off Blade. Before that I had Balsa 4.0, Tenergy 05 in my bh and 64 on my fh. When I blocked some forehand topspins of the whole clubs nr 4 with My forehand, the ball often went over the table. But now with the New blade, I can block his topspins much better, the ball just went over the table once or twice. Do you think that it's the offensive blade what is better for blocking or did I just improve my skill ? Thanks, Lukas

Hi Lukas,

It may just be that you improved your skills.  If it is working for you then stay with it.

This is one of the reasons it is important not to switch equipment too often.  You will always have these doubts in your head of “is it the equipment or the stroke?”.
