Sticky Rubbers
Equipment
Arjun Nambiar Asked 12 years ago
I have been a fan of PingSkills but i always wanted to know how to increase the stickiness of my rubber and which bat would best suit some good table tennis players? And which is the stickiest rubber you know of?

Hi Arjun,
Thanks for the kind words about PingSkills. The rules state you aren't allowed to modify the rubber so you can't do anything to increase the grip of the rubber. There are lots of good options out there for table tennis players. In fact there are so many choices it becomes confusing. That's why we've recommend the PingSkills Rook as an excellent first bat and the PingSkills Touch as the next step.
I'm not really sure what the stickiest rubber is. Maybe our readers can help out?

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!

But note: even the grippiest rubber will lose grip over time
