Hey guys,
Recently I noticed a weird preference on my part. Normally, I hear everyone taking a a slightly softer rubber on their backhand, because it engages at lower speeds where the hard rubber does not. What I noticed is that I prefer the opposite. In fact a bit harder rubber on the backhand helps me control the placement on slower balls (in case of flicks and such) and also gives me enough power when I go for the kill. Currently I'm using Rhyzer 48 for forehand and Rhyzer 43 for backhand, but I noticed that sometimes if I switch sides, I get more consistency midway into a match. This has caused me to think maybe it's better to have identical 48s on both sides next time I'm changing rubbers. Has anybody faced the same issue?
