Need new stuff, lost with my old...

At yesterdays practise I played 2 set against or numero uno player. I lost both even thoug it was very, very close. 11-4, 11-2, I think. In close games like that it could really go either way, but I must admitt, the numbers are a little bit flattering to me, cause he seemd to have control. I wasnt able to produce any good serve (I have never been good at that), I couldnt hit thoose killing loops from my forehand (wich I think I should be able to...) and my backhand manged to put the ball and the table but not much more (wich is actually better then I am used to). So, now my question; what equipment do I need to buy so that I can beat him the next time? I was thinking Kreanga Carbon and some real superduper rubbers, what do you think?

Also, almost forgott to mention we played with DHS*** balls wich clearly gave him the advantage. Are there any ***balls to use when you want to beat a better player? Cause I know, if I only hade the right equipment I would have won...

Good one Cole_ely.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind Just making fun of myself and everyone else who thinks that great equipment will win matches for you. I have learnt the hard way that its not so. From now on I will buy rubbers thats suits my style and level, not the ones that even pros have a hard time to handle

It's a six ply (2 plastic, 2 hinoki, 1 arylate carbon, and one kevlar) It was used by world campions Rong Guotan in 1959 and Stellan Bengsston in '75 and is guaranteed to produce an upset over a better opponent. Yours for only 99.99 $ + s&h!

Thanks for the reply! As for the ball, it might just be worth it, does it play better with a expencive carbon blade?

Hrmph, I drive Volvo, I am a family guy
I guess volvo is a bit like friendship 729, safe and easy. Saab being more of a Bryce, great speed, but can you control it?

PLEASE!
Don't start comparing tabletennis equipment to cars  >___< rofl.

Which rubbers are the ones that pros have hard time handling?

1. when you loose, blame it on the rubber
2. when the rubbers are new, blame it on the blade
3. when both are new, blame it on the home made glue.
4. when everything else is fine, then its a fake DHS*** ball or the net is too high.
5. when every-every-everything else is fine, say you forgot to take your steroid.
