as i had been the one to start the topic in the german forum, i want to re-post my opinion again to improve my english
. i think that for example too thin rubbers can decrease players´ abilities at least one class dealing with a very aggressive player.
on the other hand i regard psychology as very important in the choice of equipment. if you believe to play better with certain kind of equipment you can finally play better, but not by choosing the right equipment but simply believing in your decision and the equipment´s possibilities.
Many greetings
