Chinese rubber with Japanese penhold
Equipment
Jon Schroeder Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I am wondering if I would be at a disadvantage using a Chinese rubber with a Jpen grip. I am planning to start off with a more controlled chinese rubber like Friendship 729-08, then as my control develops, to move on to XIOM Vega Pro which is a Japanese/Euro. rubber. What are your thoughts about using a chinese rubber on a jpen and switching from chinese to japanese rubber.
Also, does your pingskills touch come in Jpen and if not do u think it could still be suitable for a Jpen player?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
I think using a Chinese rubber on a JPen blade is OK. It is just a matter of your own feel.
The PingSkills Touch Penhold is a Chinese style blade. You should try playing with a shakehand blade with the penhold grip and see if it feels OK before thinking about making the change. If it feels OK, then you could think about changing.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
