Changing to a Faster Rubber
Equipment
Tiago Ferreira Asked 12 years ago
Hey coach,
I used a Butterfly Timo Boll 700A with Pan Asia's rubber and I feel very confortable with that. A week ago, I changed to Tibhar Torpedo's rubber with new blade, and I can't control the balls to the table. Some of them go out! What should I do now? I need your help please!
Thank you PingSkills!

I haven't used that rubber but I would recommend that you stick with it a bit longer. Try and see if you can get some controlled practice where you just concentrate on hitting as many balls on in a row as you can.
It is quite common for people to struggle a bit when they move up to a faster rubber. Stick with it for a few weeks and with some good practice I hope you'll get used to the new rubbers.
