Rubber advice

Hans K Asked 16 years ago

I am an intermediate player. I am offensive in my forehand and defensive in my backhand. My coach suggested me to buy a new bat. He gave me these options:

pimples, anti rubber, friendship, yasaka and the like.

Which bat is recommended?My backhand is weaker than my forehand.I want a very offensive rubber in my forehand and a slightly defensive rubber in my backhand?

Which rubbers do you recommend?

Thanks

Hi Hans,

Have a look at the different rubbers available. There are plenty of options.

For your forehand I would recommend something like Mark V or Joola Tango. You don't want anything too fast but something that will let you generate some spin. On the backhand you probably want something a little slower again. Perhaps RITC Friendship which is a lttle slower but will give you good control and let you play with a lot of spin.

Remember though there are hundreds of choices. Look at the ratings. Something in th emid range for speed on the forehand and something a little slower for your backhand.
