Changing Rubber

Equipment

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 longtongue-out. 

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.

I guess I'll change bats until I can chop effectively from my reverse backhand
