Hey Anthony! ok so reading through what you said here about your equipment first off you’re doing the right thing by trying to find a bat with good control and feeling and the best way to do that is going to an all wood blade like the Yasaka Sweden extra. Wood blades you will feel the contact with the ball a lot more than a carbon blade as the rebound time is much quicker. I would say give the set up a bit of time for you to adjust and play with it for a few weeks or a month and really get used to it.
It takes a fair amount of time to be really comfortable with any equipment set up so that is a big part of it. Plus the set up you have no isn’t crazy fast so i do think with perseverance and time and continuing to work on your technique as you mentioned it will feel a lot more comfortable. If after playing with this set up[ for a few weeks and you still feel that it doesn’t have the control and feel you want then I would suggest trying lots of other players bats and and getting a good idea of which blade and rubbers you may feel more at home with.
Equipment at the end of the day is a very personal thing so it’s just finding that feeling that you like and then sticking with it so you can work on improving your game. I hope that’s helpful and let us know if you have any other questions on this! Tom 🙂
