Defensive rubbers

Equipment

D K Asked 10 years ago

Hello again

Recently I found out that my forehand rubber is too fast for chopping and it tends to have a very high throw (if I loop,the ball is following the movement of my bat too long. And if I chop, the ball tends to be vertical to the ground. This happens even if I play into no spin ball, regardless of my technique)

How exactly is important what bat I am using?
Should I change my rubber or just my sponge?

If yes, what rubber would you recommend and shall I write which rubbers I have already tried (and rejected) to help you with choosing your advice?

Hi D K,

The rubber will not make a big difference.  Just keep working on technique instead.

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!

I know that the technique is much more important,but the rubber should not be ignored completely,shouldn't it?

As long as you have something reasonable it is OK.

Keep your rubber and keep working on your technique.
