Asymmetric Rubbers

Gabriel Eniwumide Asked 11 years ago

Hello, new here.

Im currently designing my 3rd Racket and on the verge of making a decision that I'v never made before.  I've already decided what rubbers I want but to support my style of play, I want to use a thickness of 1.8mm for my red and just 1.5mm for my black.

I know it's unorthodox but is there any good reason why this isn't typically practiced and will the weight unbalance be easily noticeable?

Thanks

Hi Gabriel,

It is very acceptable to have different rubbers and different thicknesses on either side.

It is a good idea if you have different strengths on both sides.  GIve it a try and let me know how it works out.
