What Rubber and paddle is good

Matthew Vong Asked 15 years ago

Just wondering what rubber is good and the blade. My friend says long pimple rubbers are illegal in tournaments but i dont really know. What rubber is good for attacking and defence and spin? And are there any good rubber in your store?

Hi Matthew,

Rubber is very much a matter of personal preference.

Long pimples are still OK to use.  You just need to make sure they are approved by the ITTF.  Click on the link for a list of approved rubbers.

For attacking use a faster reverse pimple rubber.  For defense use a slower rubber or even a long pimple rubber.

In our store we have a few rubbers that are suitable for attacking play.  Mark V is a great rubber for learning to attack with.  Once you have mastered that I would recommend you move onto Yasaka Pryde rubber.
