How to play with soft rubber (FH)
Equipment
Duc Le Asked 13 years ago
I just switched from a medium-hard rubber (Yasaka Rakza 9) to a soft one (Calibra LT Sound) for my FH, mainly to reduce the paddle weight a bit. Today was my first day using it, but it feels quite weird. Do you have any tips or general guidelines for playing with soft rubbers? I'm using a OFF/OFF- 7-ply wood blade with medium flex (Yasaka Hinoki Leo 7). Thanks a bunch!

Hi Duc,
Try letting the ball sink into your rubber a bit more. Have a more open blade when hitting. This will allow the rubber to wrap around the ball more and grip it.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.
