Backhand rubber for greater control

Equipment

Hi, I am an intermediate level player with an aggressive forehand play. Few months back I purchased Palio Legend 2 pre-made bat. While it has improved my forehand play giving lot more speed to my smashes, I feel it has come at the cost of control esp. backhand chops. I am contemplating changing the backhand rubber to Yasaka Mark V (currently it has Hadou rubbers which is hard). Would you recommend this or should I just practice more and get used to it? Thanks, Nikhil.

Hi Nikhil,

I would just practice some more for a while.  Give it a month and then see if you are able to control the backhand.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
