Racket pasting

ulhas guttikar Asked 10 years ago

Sir,

My racket rubber is not able to cover entire ply… will it cause any effect on speed,spin or life of rubber if i stretch it at the time of pasting to cover entire area?  or is it ok to stretch rubber?

Thank you.

Hi Ulhas,

Stretching your rubber will tend to make it wear out quicker but won’t effect the performance too much.  It is better to stretch it and be able to use it than to not stretch it and have a gap around your rubber that may be illegal.
