Rubber Selection Factors |
| SPEED-The ability to
easily create faster ball speed based on a rubber's power created by the
sponge rebound force and top sheet hardness. Higher speed rubbers also
called faster since they produce faster shots. speed differences between
rubbers are greater with 2.5 or 2.0mm sponges. Attacking Players usually
prefer the fastest rubbers while defensive players may prefer slower
rubbers. |
| SPIN- The ability to
create stronger spin is determined mainly by the composition and
quality of the top sheet. |
| POWER FACTOR-The sum
of spin and speed ratings. Powerful rubbers combine high speed with
strong topspin to create maximum attacking power. |
| RUBBER THICKNESS: 2.5mm- The maximum thickness allowed under the rules. The term 2.5 is often used in a general way to express the maximum thickness of sponge allowed for a rubber sheet to maintain a total rubber/sponge thickness that is within the total allowed under the rules. Depending on the particular rubber sheet the actual maximum thickness of sponge will probrobly be something more like 2.15mm or 2.3mm. 2.0mm-This is the most popular thickness. 2.0mm combines offensive power with more control than 2.5mm. 2.0mm is also preferred by some spinning or attacking players who use light, medium fast "quick attack" blades, particularly for close-to-the table attacking. 1.0,1.5mm- Thinner sponge rubbers provide maximum control and "touch" for players emphasizing steady all-around play or a defensive style. 1.5mm is sometimes used by quick hitting or blocking players. |
| FAST/FREE ASSEMBLY -If
you request it when ordering rubber sheets and a blade, we'll provide
fast/free custom racket assembly service. We'll even glue your new
rubber to your favorite used blade if you'll remove the old rubber
and send it to us along with your order and payment information |
| CUSTOM ASSEMBLED PADDLES-We
will assemble any combination of rubber and blade you would like. Custom
assembled paddles consist of your choice of blade(wood) combined with
rubber. 2.0mm rubber is most popular on custom paddles and will be used
unless another thickness is specified. RECREATIONAL PADDLES-These paddles have the same rubber on both sides and perform at a much lower level than the custom assembled variety. This type of table tennis paddle can be a good choice for casual players. |
