Changing backhand rubber to short pimples
Equipment
Stephen Palm Asked 3 years ago
I currently have an offensive ply blade with Donic Bluefire M2's (2mm sponge) on both sides.
I am looking at going to a carbon blade with Donic Bluefire M2 on the forehand, for a little more speed.
But I'm not sure about the backhand. I cannot loop on my backhand (and utilise the M2 rubber), so I was looking at going to something that would help my other backhand shots. What would be better on my backhand? I was thinking short pimples (2mm sponge), but unsure. Would short pimples be a good option?

Hi Stephen,
Short pimples can suit some players depending on how you play. It is difficult to lift backspin balls with it but can be good if you play flat and fast on the backhand side.
It is worth a try anyway because that is the only way that you will really know whether it suits you or not.

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!
