Chinese rubber

Does Chinese rubber on the forehand need different technique ?

Hi Ibrahim,

At the basic level no.  What you can do with the harder Chinese rubber is brush more over the top of the ball to get the topspin.  You still need to brush the ball quite fast but not as fast as with a softer rubber because of the grip on the surface.
