Hi Shripathi,
What are you trying to achieve by increasing the time the ball is in contact with your rubber? Are you trying to get more spin? If so you need to focus on having a really fast brushing contact as this is what will generate the spin.

uh not really. my coach said i could played faster shots (backhand!!) by increasing contact time as i could not only get the spin on a fast swing , but also the pace. any tips on that jeff?
thanks!
Hi Sripathi,
I would concentrate on getting the technique right. Once you have that you can increase the speed of your shots by playing the shots faster.

if u want more friction, or tackiness as the technical term is,try getting a chinese rubber if u can afford or just by spinmax, its just like a regular rubber cleaner except that it leaves a residue on rubber whic increases the friction. its gr8 i use it id my dhs hurricane 3 neo, the spin is unbelievable
