Fast Rubbers For Beginners

Johnny Long Asked 9 years ago

Hey,

When I started training 3 months ago I got my first custom bat. 

They're quite fast in my opinion-took me a little while to get used to them.

I'm just wondering if faster rubbers are not suitable for beginners?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

It is much better to start with a slower rubber.  This will help you to control the ball and focus on the strokes.  When you start with fast rubbers the ball will come off your bat too fast and you will find yourself compromising your stroke.
