Should we change rubber for plastic balls

Hello again pingskills, I was just wondering if a change of rubber is necessary for the new plastic balls as I haven't played with them yet, I have seen many stores selling rubbers that sell plastic ball ready rubbers and some that aren't plastic ready. The plastic ready rubbers have something called dynamic friction technology which is said to counter the slipperiness and contact of the new balls, what are your views on this and is it a good idea to switch from the regular older rubbers such as tenergy?  

Thanks.

Matt.

Hi Matt,

Don’t worry about changing your rubber.  This is obviously good marketing by the manufacturers.  I think they have enough options out there already but now they are adding more.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
