Soft or hard as forehand rubber

Equipment

Hi Aloise,

I bought a pre-made bat as you recommended.

The forehand rubber (DHS) is soft and grippy.

The backhand rubber (Bomb) is harder and also grips well.

What rubber should I use (DHS or Bomb) at the forehand if I want to play spin shots at the forehand, and no spin at the backhand.

Thanks, 

John

Hi John,

Try both and see which feels better for you.  Some players like the feel of the Sofer rubber for spin and others like the harder sponge.

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!
