Replacing rubbers
Equipment
Rob Rardon Asked 7 years ago
Hi,
I used to belong to a table tennis club that would play once a week. Some players would pull up their rubbers every week and glue it back down to increase the spin and speed of the rubbers. Is this a good idea?

Hi Rob,
This is what players did when they used speed glue. The speed glue is not allowed anymore so there is not a real need to regale rubber so regularly. The speed glue used to expand the sponge and were off in a few hours so that is why they used to reglue so often.
The water based glue that is used now doesn't effect eh rubber much at all.
