Rubber Specifications for Reverse Penhold Backhand
Equipment
m-mehdi mojaver Asked 11 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.

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!

my game is good enough!
i want a high throw angle rubber too.
which specifications a high throw angle rubber has?
hardness(degree number of density) of sponge??
thickness of sponge??
A high throw rubber tends to have a grippy surface and a slightly harder sponge. Go for Vega Pro or something like Hurricane 3.
