Hi Anthony,

High throw rubbers mean that the spin will react more off the rubber and there tends to be more grip on the rubber.  So against backspin balls a high throw rubber will make it a little easier to lift the backspin ball over the net.  

A low throw rubber means it doesn't have as much lift or effect off the rubber.  These rubbers are good for playing against topspin balls or playing more of a flat game.

Neither is better or worse than the other.  It is just a matter of preference.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
