Please how can i differentiate between long pimple and short pimple rubbers?
Hi Ene,
It would be good if you have them side by side for easy comparison. Firstly if you touch them you will feel that the long pimples are softer and have more wobble when you push at them. The short pimples will feel firmer.
When you play against them the long pimples will slow the ball down and reverse the spin on the ball. The short pimples will flatten out the spin but will not reverse the spin. The short pimples comes through quite fast.
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
