Close to the table backhand rubber suggestion

Equipment

What backhand rubber would you recommend for a player who plays close to the table?

I would like to be able to do a backhand flick and counter topspin easier, should I use a spin type or speed type rubber?

Thanks.

Hi Tommy,

I don' have any specific but I would recommend something with more spin than speed.  As you are close to the table the ball will come off quite fast anyway.  The spin will allow you better control and safety with the counterspin strokes.

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!
