So there are two schools of thought:
1) Stick with your less forgiving rubber, train a hell of a lot and one day, everything will just click and you will end up with great technique and land everything. You've told yourself that you need perfect technique to win and you've got the time, devotion and ability to turn yourself into the next Ma Long... give it 10 years...
2) Go to the softer rubber with a bigger error margin. Train not as much and play relatively better for now. You've admitted to yourself that you are never going to be the next Ma Long so you're happier to play better in the now, but with slower improvement of your technique.
Anyway, softer rubbers have a larger error margin because they typically arc more. And you're not a robot, or the next ML so why bother missing all the time while your technique isn't perfect?
Food for thought: You continue using the bat you need good technique to land the shot. You train hard, but keep missing in games. Are you improving?
I guess that's more or less what I was thinking.
I was just looking for another possible point of view.
Thanks
