Red or Black for the Forehand

Aniketh Danam Asked 8 years ago

hi Alios and Jeff, my question fluently reminds me when I play. The question is.......which side (red or black) is good to use as FOREHAND AND BACKHAND because I saw many people using black as backhand where red as forehand and vice-versa or is it both same?  My friends suggested that red side is used for spin and black for power shots .I would be waiting for your respond by a video or a message but please don't forget to remind me....

THANK YOU,

Hi Aniketh,

If you have the same type of rubber on both sides then it doesn't matter which colour you use on your forehand. The properties of the rubber will be the same regardless of the colour.
