Paddle for Robot Practice
Equipment
Marv Anderson Asked 9 years ago
Hello, Alois and Jeff.
I practice a lot with a robot, and do not want to wear out my fairly expensive playing paddle. I am looking for a durable lightweight paddle but do not want something that is totally different than my 'real' paddle.
Someone suggested that speed is much less important while practicing strokes, and that getting something with a lot of spin would allow me to learn strokes that would be very similar to those I could perform with my good paddle.
Does that sound right to you? you have a suggestion about an inexpensive rubber that fits that description?
Thanks

Hi Marv,
Unfortunately the rubber is a real cost of playing. However it is important to use the same rubber for your training and matches. The differences and adjustments will be difficult if you are constantly changing rackets. When making an error you won’t know where it is your technique or the adjustment to the different racket.

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!

I hope that having a separate paddle for feeding multiball is OK :)
Yes I think that is OK because you are not practicing your strokes.
