I am using a Dawai 388C-1 pimple rubber with no sponge.Whats the difference of having a sponge and not? I find it difficult to block and play backhand shots from this rubber.When I block, the ball usually dips down to the net or go out of the table.What should I do?

Hi Praveen,

The sponge under the rubber gives you more control of the ball.  Without sponge the ball stays on the bat for a shorter time so makes it harder for you to control where the ball is going.

Since you are having trouble with controlling it I would change to a rubber with some sponge.

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!
