Hey Alois,

Why are the prices of a single rubber more expensive than an installed rackets?

Hi Kyle,

It will depend on the type of rubber.  Most made up bats will have a rubber with less quality.  Of the set up the rubber is the most expensive part.

This is just a guess really, but perhaps the major manufacturers place a minimum on the retail price of each rubber? Retailers who are willing to take a smaller margin could offer a lower price for a bundle with blade and rubber.
