fast rubber

Roman Sukhanov Asked 13 years ago

The rubber on the red side of my bat seems to be offering too much speed for me both on my forehand and backhand. How can I cope with that?

Hi Roman,

What sort of rubber is it and how long have you had it?

You could think about changing the rubber or try to hit a lot more balls with it and see if you can get used to the speed of it. Sometimes it takes a while to adjust.

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.

I use Stiga Magna TS II rubber on a defensive blade. I have been using it for 2 months. My guess is that I should try to get less tension in my wrist and make a slower swing.

Yes, less tension is often a key. It helps you feel the ball better and control the stroke.
