Equipment
Hi coaches
Some questions I have:
1) What type of rubber can be easier used for loops vs backspin balls: normal rubber or long pimpled rubber?
2) Similar question, but "can be better used" instead
Is it just that you can get more variations of spin with normal grippy rubber or there is there something else?
Hi Roman,
It is easiest and better to use normal rubber to topspin against backspin. This will allow you to grip the ball and lift it over the net. The long pimple rubber will not allow that 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.
