Coaching students who use Chinese rubber
Strokes
David Bernstein Asked 14 years ago
Hi Guys, Do you change your coaching advice regarding stroke technique depending on the type of rubber your student uses? Specifically whether or not they use a tacky Chinese style rubber on a harder sponge v.s. grippy, softer sponge rubber.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,
The players that use the harder sponge rubbers will tend to have a slightly more horizontal stroke and vice versa.
I don't tend to change players rubbers too much though.
