Hi Shreyans,
Don't worry too much about the small bits of dust. As long as you get most of the dust off you will protect the rubber well.
We will look at making a video on the Backhand Smash. Do remember though that most times if the ball is high enough for a smash you should have enough time to get around and make a foreahnd smash. It is a much safer option.

Sir Alois,
No matter how much I clean it, majority of the space is dust.
Please help as it affects the spin I imbue on the ball.
Hi Zhang,
You can clean it often. Just keep wiping the rubber after each couple of minutes of play to keep the rubber clean.

i clean my rubber by:-
1) first keep the rubber close to the mouth then release air from your mouth it will give the rubber some moisture(few drops of water can be seen)..
2) after this wipe it off either with your hand or preferable use a cloth.....
I do it in this way coz. i have seen doing this others in my club.....
THIS WORKS GOOD FOR ME.....HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU TOO...
TRY IT
Thanks for sharing your technique Nischay. I think that is a pretty effective way to do it. In fact I made a video on this a while back!
