Equipment

Hi I'm a normal table tennis player and i have trouble taking the old glue of my rubbers.I use hexer and xiom omega 4 asia for the rubber and peter korbal and blade.

when i was peelling the old glue off my xiom, I accidently peeled some of the sponge as well...

I use free chack butterfly glue and I would like to know how to peel the old glue off without ripping the sponge as well. I saw one of your videos how to peel old glue, but mine come off a little by a little and it at least takes me 1 hour to peel all the glue for 1 rubber.

can you help me?

Hi Chris,

It does take a long time to get the glue off.  It is best to take this time and do it slowly.

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!

I use the tips of fingers... that wear out quite quickly...
