If you still keep insisting on using a (click link >) dumb racket , keep the following facts in mind

When you use a smart racket with different rubber types on Side X & Side Y it the equivalent of having 5 dumb rackets in your hand

Dumb racket 1 > Side x on forehand
Dumb racket 2 > Side y on forehand
Dumb racket 3 > Side x on backhand
Dumb racket 4 > Side y on backhand
Dumb racket 5 > Synergy of Click link > spin diversity from between Side X & Side Y


Note :- If you are angry about your racket being referred to as a dumb racket , you need to look at the dark & depraved history of
(click link >) robotNazis have abused the pips / anti players by calling their rackets junk rackets . So take a deep breath before you get high & holy before passing judgement.
More importantly, calling a smart racket and dumb racket as such is fully functionally valid as opposed to irrational lashing out at pips and anti rackets as junk rackets

Well that is European grip (aka shakehands)
Extrapolating the same logic , a HAG (Hybrid Asian Grip aka penhold) smart racket would be 7 dimensional
This was used by Liu Guoliang
I would let someone else figure out and explain why HAG smart racket would be 7 dimensional

However keep in mid that you are are cursed or blessed with the grip that comes natural to you.
Most Euro grip players cannot play Asian grip at all but most Asian Grip players can play decent Euro grip

Let us also not forget the truly one sided grip , the American grip (aka Seemiller / Boggan grip)

Asian grip in the best grip (because of its being 7 dimensional) for table tennis followed by the American grip.
But if you are cursed to have the Euro grip as your best natural grip , there is not much you can do about it.

Nevertheless , a smart racket is superior to a dumb racket for 90% of players regardless of grip used
