After loosing to zuri and feel forehand loop using 729 higher did not get feeling, I switch to more power rubber- hurricane pro III Nittaku(was used for backhand). My set up now is LKT zebra hurricane III/higher. I know it will problem for my backhand control but I'll have to adjust and practice backhand stroke for better result in future. I've no problem with hurricane in either f/hand and b/hand but with higher i need more practice on my backhand. After have game with coleages i Found that
1) Forehand serve -ok but no free point and no pop up from opponent as I used to have.
2) Forehand stroke- better feel
3) backhand stroke- faster but less control.Play with matnor, hard to take his sidespin stroke.
4) backhand blok- better.
5) backhand return-need adjustment especially against spinny serve like matnor's.
Game result:
vs mokhtar 3-2
vs mie jke 3-2
vs matnor 1-4
