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.

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.
