Rubber vs blade

Firman Hakim Asked 5 years ago

Dear Coach,

Which one do you think most important?

The blade or the rubber?

I know both of them are important to play well in table tennis.

Thank you

Best regards,

Pipink

Hi Firman,

i think the rubber is the key. I have put good runner in a cheap blade and you can still play well with that combination however when you put cheap rubber on a good blade it is not possible to play at a high level.
