Speed glueing
Equipment
chris jeong Asked 12 years ago
Hello, I'm a normal table tennis player and I wanna speed glue my bat because the speed glue is very cheap and has a lot inside one.
Even though it is illegal now, what will happen when i do it and play in a tournament (under 15)
And is it true that you must replace the glue every week?
When you're glueing again, do you have to peel the old glue off?
Thank you!!!

Hi Chris,
There are a couple of things with speed glue. FIrstly it is illegal because it does enhance your performance. If you leave it for a week or so the effect will wear off.
One of the main reasons speed glue was banned was because the fumes of many of them are harmful. I wouldn't recommend anyone especially a junior using it for this reason alone.
If there is a build up of glue on the back of your rubber it is best to remove it because it will effect the performance of the rubber. However that is not easy sometimes.

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!

So the effect will run off in 1 week, it's harmful and it's illegal.
However... what is you where a mask or watch out? and what will happen when you play in the tornament with the speed glued racket ann get caught???
If you get caught using the speed glue during matches you can be banned from the tournament.
