japanese Penhold with Backhandrubber

LittleSeki · Feb 21, 2020

Hello,

i want to buy a Yinhe 988 for japanse Penhold for fun and to know how it is but i want also a rubber on the backhand for RPB.

Now there is cork on the backhand side.

So 2 Ideas:

First one put the rubber after the cork. This shoudl be still legal because it can be space between the handle and the rubber but there would be a lot of space xD

like on the picture xD

second idea cut the cork, but then i dont know how to do it.

I hope you can help me

you can break the cork off with your fingers and sand it afterwards, it's only glued to the wood. also rpb on jpen doesn't really work

A saw a video of a semi-pro, pro that used jpen but played RPB like cpen

A chisel works best, but you can pry it off with any knife.

That being said, I think I had one of those (988, 986, forgot). Those were pretty thick blades, won't be very comfortable with rubber on the back.

you can get a yinhe 989 if you dont want to modify your blade for backhand. its a twiddler's blade, but i think it will work well enough for rpb.

I hope you're planning on cutting the cork way below that point.

if you feel like your fingers must still rest on cork, I'm telling you now don't bother.

When you factor in the the label of the rubber has to show, by the time you get to your hitting area, you have such little space left, it wouldn't be worth it. Furthermore your hitting space would be on the very end of your blade and I'd argue not in the sweet spot which is more middle-ish

Could just pick up a penhold designed for 2 sided play like I did with the Nittaku Sou. It doesn't break the bank.

But if you must alter that Yinhe, at least cut the cork much, much lower towards the handle. Your fingers will get use to the smooth rubber or pips. I'm not sure what you're putting back there.

Could have been Taisei Matsushita.

He plays Jpen & duel inverted.

Plays at a really high level also.
