A Good Priced Rubber
Equipment
Selvin Selbaraju Asked 12 years ago
Dear Coach, I am looking for some new rubbers for my table tennis bat. I have recently asked you a question and I currently have the Donic Acuda S1 and the Yasaka New Era. I do not think however my parents would like to spend that much money on my rubbers again. Are there any good rubbers that are of a cheaper price that are close to the quality of my two previous rubbers? Thanks

Hi Selvin,
Some of the Chinese rubbers are cheaper. If you search around on the internet you may find some cheaper options.

Look for "Friendship" rubbers, are grippy and REALLY Cheap, but the reasson i dont use it is because the sponge is really hard

hello selvin,
i just bought an inexpensive pair of sanwei t88-i rubbers, and i couldn't be happier. they are my first chinese rubbers, and they are supposed to be the chinese version of tenergy 05, which i wanted to try but which sell for $90 US/sheet at my club. before these, i was using joola xplode, which were almost $50 US/sheet. the sanwei t88-i is just $12 US/sheet, and i even found that if i buy them on ebay the shipping is free (again, to usa at least). not only is the price great, imo, but the amazing tackiness means you can really grip the ball. i feel these rubbers have taken my game to a new level, because i am finding it increasingly easy to topspin pretty much every ball (a fast and fine brushing motion will just GRAB). i don't mind the hardness of the rubber, because i tend to play a power game and hard rubber means more speed with driving. i have read that some people consider the rubbers heavy, but personally i don't really notice, although my paddle feels more "stable". here is a more-complete review of them (not by me, but i read it before i got them, and totally agree with it now i have played with them about 6 times): http://www.mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45229
peace,

As Douglas said there are some cheap and good quality rubbers and also people rank them almost as high as the expensive ones. So what is the difference between Sanwei t88-i and tenergy 05 and that kind of rubber. I bought an expensive one boost tp so Did I do wrong.
