Twiddle for smash

Hello I've seen most of the professional players twiddle when they start smashing. Why do they do that and should we do this as well? Thank you in advance.

Hi Jeypi,

A few of them do that because they have a harder rubber on the backhand side and like the feel of the smash with the harder rubber.  I don't think it is necessary for most of us.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

I read somewhere that most players actually have hard rubber on their forehand and twiddle,because their backhand is softer,but MORE BOUNCY to compensate the fact that forehand can always get more power than backhand due to pure human body limitations.
What doyou think about this?
