Hi Utkarsh,

Why do you want to change to Joola Express?

When you are training and improving your strokes and technique, it's important to have some consistency with your equipment so you don't have to keep making small adjustments because of new equipment. If your happy with your current rubbers, then stick with them. If there is a good reason to switch, that is OK too. Let me know why and then that might help decide if it should go on your backhand or forehand.

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!

Hi Utkarsh,

That sounds like a reasonable reason to change.  If you are playing competitively and  it is effecting your play then change it.  If you aren't playing competitively or if the cuts are in a position that you don't usually hit the ball then you could still train with the old rubber.
