fast rubbers

Hi,

The critical thing when selecting the speed of your rubber is to match it to your stroke ability.  If you strokes are technically very good and you can keep up with the pace then you can move to a faster rubber.  A common mistake is that we choose a faster rubber before we are ready for it and then our strokes suffer.

Go slowly at first and make sure technique is perfect the you will be able to progress faster later on and won't have weaknesses that you will always have to cover up for.
