Hi Alois and Jeff!
Is there any change in the sound when the ball hits rackets with different types of rubbers on them?

Hi Sourav,
Yes the sound is different for different rubbers and also different thicknesses of the rubbers.
For a thicker spinge you will find the sound softer. For a thinner sponge the sound will be louder and more like hitting it with wood.
If they are using a long or short pimple again the sounds will be different.
The other time a sound will change is with the type of contact they make with the ball. If they hit the ball finer with more spin, it will make a softer sound and if they contact the ball flat then it will be a louder sound.

What sound would be produced if the ball hits an anti spin rubber?
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
It is a dull sound because of the sponge and the lack of bounce in the rubber.
