The Right Rubber

Mario Unknown Asked 15 years ago

Coach, I am a beginner in table tennis. I use Stiga Optimum Sync, Stiga Innova and RITC Friendship. I want to buy a new rubber and replace my RITC. I have an offensive play. What do you recommend?

Hi Mario,

Firstly why do you want to change away from the Friendship.  Do you want something faster, slower, more control?

There are a thousand options out there.  Look at the speed, spin and control rating of RITC and then look at the comparative ratings of other rubbers.  If you want something faster, etc.

You could even try the Optimum Sync on the other side and see if that suits.
