Cheapest rubber still a Winner

DHS Lover Asked 9 years ago

Hi PingSkills

I think I should share this and know your thought

My coach always won the 1st rank at tournament till National 4 years ago.

But what makes me surprise is he use the cheapest rubber than the other players

He use a very slow tacky rubber Dawei 388A-4 which is only 7$ on forehand for deadly attack while lots of player try to get the fastest rubber with expensive price but still can't be a winner

When I block his topspin drive, I can feel the ball really slow but when it hits my racket I feel struggle and can't control it which I can control another topspin with such a fast tensor rubber

He always tell me that it's all about technique

It makes me realize that price is not the key and I think that I should try to get such a cheap rubber like him and improve more with my technique

What do you think about it?

And I just want to know what is the best rubber bellow 10$ in your oppinion? I think this will help them who only have low budget

Hi Frendy,

Exactly! I agree with your coach 100%.

I don’t know what the best rubber under $10 is but the Dawei is fine.
