Replacing rubbers
Equipment
Rob Rardon Asked 7 years ago
Hi,
I used to belong to a table tennis club that would play once a week. Some players would pull up their rubbers every week and glue it back down to increase the spin and speed of the rubbers. Is this a good idea?

Hi Rob,
This is what players did when they used speed glue. The speed glue is not allowed anymore so there is not a real need to regale rubber so regularly. The speed glue used to expand the sponge and were off in a few hours so that is why they used to reglue so often.
The water based glue that is used now doesn't effect eh rubber much at all.

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!
