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.

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!

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.
