Hi Coach
The type of grip I use does not allow to place backhand shots which means that I am actually using one face of my bat only. So I am thinking of a custom bat with the following features:
- ordinary rubber with high spin capability and decent speed and control for one face
- anti spin rubber for the other face
The idea is not to change the face at the same match. But to choose the right material according to play style of the opponent as I am facing some difficulties with players using too much spin.
Now is the idea looks practical? and if so, how can i get such bat ?
regards

Hi Adel,
This is a good idea. What grip do you use. If it is the penhold grip then you can get a specific penhold bat otherwise you can get a shakehand bat and then just change sides when you feel necessary.
Let me know what you are after and I might be able to organise it for you.

Thanks Alois
The grip i am using is unique (I don't know its name), where the handle of the bat is up in getting ready position and most returns (not in smash and chop shots or when serving) and no backhand shots can be performed. But wait! it gives me good control and i am beating all my collegues. I kindly want to hear your comment about this.
now let's go back to the custom bat, can bingskills arrange a bat with inverted rubber from one side (same as touch mark v bat), and with long pimples (to counteract spins) in the other face ? and will it be difficult for me to be familiar with such a situation
currently i am using donic waldner line level 1000. I feel good with it but not with attacking players.

Hi Adel,
Yes PingSkills can arrange that for you. I am not sure about how it will suit your game.
I can't quite get a handle on what your grip looks like. Perhaps you can send me a picture of it.

Thanks for sending me through the photo. Interesting grip. I know another player that uses that grip to reasonable effect although it is very defensive. You could certainly use a different rubber on the other side and switch every now and then.

Thanks Alios, you are absolutely right, i am a defensive player. I am doing very well with unprofessional players
So the custom bat that i am looking for is
Pingskill Touch Mark V bat from one side
Long Pimples rubber on the other (with decent control and speed)
May you kindly send your offer to my e mail
best regards
