Changing Rubber

Equipment

Hi PingSkills!

Merry Christmas! May the following year be a prosperous one!

Should I change my backhanded rubber from medium pips to inverted? Because I am left-handed like coach Alois, balls tend to go to my backhand side. I thought that I can use this to my advantage by utilizing the back of my bat. Twiddling takes too longtongue-out

Thanks!

Hi,

If you are still learning technique it is probably better to use inverted.  If you have developed a specific game plan of a more defensive backhand then the medium pimples may be better for you as they will give you a good effect and still allow you to hit a little.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

I guess I'll change bats until I can chop effectively from my reverse backhand
