A question to all penhold (chinese) users out there: is the rubber supposed to be put all the way down to the bat handle or above (in that case, how many cm)?

Hey guys! I've played about 1 year with the penhold grip and the last few weeks i've notices that i lose'd some feeling if i play forehand topspin and backhand topspin (The ball always gets in the net). so i was thinking about to change my penhold grip to the shakehand grip. If i play with the...
