Rubber Specifications for Reverse Penhold Backhand
Equipment
m-mehdi mojaver Asked 10 years ago
HI.
I am a penholder & close to the table (loop and drive with my reverse backhand). For best efficiency, which specifications my rubber must have?
Hardness (degree of density) & thickness of sponge?
high throw angle rubber or low throw?
and what is the relations between
(hardness(degree of density), thickness of sponge and tackiness of rubber) with (throw angle) of rubber?

Hi,
There is no set rule as to the type of rubber that you should use. For the reverse rubber I personally prefer a high throw rubber to make it easier to lift the backspin ball. The thickness will depend on the development of your game. If you are a higher level player you can use a thicker rubber.

i want a high throw angle rubber too.
which specifications a high throw angle rubber has?

A high throw rubber tends to have a grippy surface and a slightly harder sponge. Go for Vega Pro or something like Hurricane 3.
Others may have more advice for you.

Harder blades will be faster
Thickness doesn’t have any effect, depends on the wood.

I haven’t used it so I will let others reply to you. I would think it would be OK.
