What rubbers should I choose?
Equipment
Norman Hakim Asked 12 years ago
Hello Coach,
I want to ask your opinion to choose rubbers for my forehand and backhand. I use Butterfly Gergely 21 blades. I'm an offensive player. I always plays topspin for my forehand and sidespin flick for my backhand.
What is the best rubbers for me to use?

Hi Norman,
I've got to be honest here. I don't think the choice of rubbers is going to make a big difference. As long as you have decent rubbers that you are happy with then focus on what will make a big difference. That is practicing your technique.
What rubbers are you currently using?

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!

If your budget for 2 rubbers is 100 or below, then xiom vega a good. If it is 50 or under, you should get chinese rubbers like me

I second Jeff's point. I've gone through (expensive) bouts of equipment-junkie fixations, but after all the countless rubbers I have used, my main conclusion is that if you slap on any number of good quality rubbers that give you good grip, it doesn't really matter in the end which one you use. Just toss a coin, or pick the rubber that has a cool sounding name, or the cool coloured sponge...the tone is in the fingers.

hmmm i suggest
when going to a club either borrow a friend's racket and have a trial run
or talk about rubbers w/c they are currently using or what they had used before
once you have a rubber in mind
research it on the internet :)
helped me alot in my rubber decision making days :D

My suggestion: choose a decent rubber with acceptable price, ie, the rubber that you feel comfortable buying every 3 months or so. Because the rubber will wear out, no matter how expensive it is.

Joola Express one is harder faster Express two is softer with more spin. that's all in a nutshell.
