New Equipment: Aces 2.2 Forehand

I decided to go to a less tacky rubber than geospin black. I already had Gambler Aces sitting around so I'm going to use that for now. Initial impressions after playing with it today is that it's a softer topsheet and much less tacky. It's also a bit slower, which is probably a good thing. The parts of my game that I had the most trouble adjusting was lifting underspin back onto the table and pushing. To get the same amount of lift I needed a much softer contact with the ball. With pushing since the topsheet is softer I needed to be more proactive with my pushes. All in all I think its a good switch.
