Problems with rubber

Cristh Garrido Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois and Pingskills

Ago a few time i started to feel strange my rubber, then i started to lose a lot of serves that goes into the net, and today i went to train and i started the warm up, when i started to make forehand topspin they go direct to the net...i don't know what happen, today i feel that i was hiting with a piece of wood.

i am worried, i never loose serves, and my forehand topspin is really consistency...what is happening? is it the rubber?

Please help

thanks

Hi Cristh,

Rub your finger across the surface of the rubber.  Does it feel slippery or grippy?  If it feels slippery, your rubber may be wearing.

The other consideration is was it particularly cold today when you were playing  The temperature f the rubber will effect its performance.  If the rubber is cold, it will be harder and won't give you as much speed or spin.
