Changing Rubber

Table TennisGuy Asked 10 years ago

Hi PingSkills!

Merry Christmas! May the following year be a prosperous one!

Should I change my backhanded rubber from medium pips to inverted? Because I am left-handed like coach Alois, balls tend to go to my backhand side. I thought that I can use this to my advantage by utilizing the back of my bat. Twiddling takes too long. 

Thanks!

Hi,

If you are still learning technique it is probably better to use inverted.  If you have developed a specific game plan of a more defensive backhand then the medium pimples may be better for you as they will give you a good effect and still allow you to hit a little.
