15 yo changing to short pips on Backhand
Equipment
Toong Lee Asked 4 years ago
would you recommend an average 15 yo to change from normal rubber he has been playing to shot pip with rubber to improve his table tennis?

Hi TY,
In general I wouldn't recommend it until the player has good established feel and technique. However, if you think that they have a game that really suits the pimple play then that would be OK to move them on to that type of rubber.
I would ask how long the player has been playing and how much they have developed.

Thanks. He has only been playing for 2 years under me. Another coach come along and because he uses short pimple with sponge convinced him to switch. I tried but unsuccessful to convinced him and mother. This is the second month and he is struggling with the new rubber.
