Rubber for developing youth player
Equipment
Andrew Campbell Asked 4 years ago
My 10 year old son is starting to get more interested in Table Tennis. He has an ok forehand drive and is working on his backhand. What is the best rubber to use to help further develop his game?

Hi Andrew,
Something fairly slow. We use Lion 5 Stars rubber on our PingSkills Rook bat. There are literally hundreds of options out there.
Make sure it is an inverted rubber with some sponge, around 1.5 to 2mm. Make sure that when he hits with it that he is not compromising his stroke because of the speed of the rubber.
If you look at the range from the more reputable companies they will have a slow version of rubber that will fit the bill.

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!
