table tennis bat and rubber

Christiaan Span Unknown Asked 15 years ago

Hi,

 I'm Christiaan From the Netherlands and I"m a player training at your silver and gold lessons level.

 I'm a allround player. I like to attack with my forehand and defend more with my backhand.

 My question is : What type of bat can i use best, and what type of rubber can i use best for my forehand where i want to attack with. And fore my backhand where i want to chop and block more and even be able to attack a little with ?

 Greetings from the Netherlands,

 Christiaan

Hi Christiaan,

Thanks for your question.  For your forehand use a rubber with 2.0mm sponge.  I can recommend a rubber like <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/store-table-tennis-rubbers.php"> Mark V</a>.  On the backhand  use a slightly thinner rubber.  Around 1.5mm Mark V would be good.  This will give you more control and still allow you to attack.
