Hi Alois,

I'm curious about why most pro table tennis players prefer hard rubbers.

I personally prefer soft rubbers on a flexible blade because I can feel the ball on the contact.

When I go to a shop to look for rubbers with pro version, I notice that they all come with hard sponge!

Why is the pro version always hard? Soft rubbers are not suitable for a pro...?

Just want to know.

Thank you

Ittipat

Hi Ittipat,

I think they like the speed of the harder rubber.  Since the banning of speed glue this is the substitute.
