Adjusting to soft rubbers faster

Wayne Sy Asked 12 years ago

Hi there coach, its me again. I just wanted to ask something about rubber adjustment. So I recently switched my rubber from DHS Tin Arc 3 to Donic Acuda s2 on my forehand and from Friendship supersoft to Donic Desto f2 on my backhand. Yesterday I played with the rubber. At first, It felt all different. I find the Donic acuda bouncier than the DHS Tin arc 3. It took about 30 mins to make me start figure the rubber out. But I can feel that it's still not "complete". So I wanted to ask if there is anyway how I can adjust to the rubber faster and more accurate? What are the do's and don'ts I need to be aware of during the adjustment period?

The reason why I wanted to get adapted to the rubber as soon as possible is because our try outs for the school varsity team is near. And I wanted to maintain my rank the same as last year.. Please help coach. :)

thanks in advance..

Hi Wayne,

The best answer is to just hit as many balls as possible before the tryouts.  That is the best way to adjust to a new rubber.
