Switching rubber from forehand to backhand when smashing

Hello. I see that many professional players switch their rubber from forehand to backhand when they start to smash. Why? And should we do this?

Hi Jeypi,

They may have a harder rubber on their backhand that they feel is easier to smash with that is why they change.

For most of us this won't make a difference.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
