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.

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!
