Table
tennis rackets, choosing a blade and rubbers
Now that
you've decided to choose a custom racket, there are 2
pieces of equipment to decide on; the blade and the rubbers. This is an easy to follow, informative section designed for you the
player as a helpful guide:
Choosing a
BLADE – which is the best table tennis blade for you?
|
| It's real important to analyse
you game a little first. Perhaps you can play a few matches, and let a friend
make some notes on how often you play the different type of strokes, and where
you win or lose the points. This will help you decide whether you need a mostly
control, spin or speed oriented blade. Note that most people tend to identify
their best shot as their most important one. However when they analyse their
game, they may realise they rarely ever get the opportunity to play that shot!
So it's important to think about all aspects of you game. Note also that the
choice of rubber will make the biggest impact on how the bat plays.

Choosing a
RUBBER – which ones are right for you?
|
|
Again use the same analysis to
determine the type of rubber you require. When you've already mastered the
basics you may well have developed a certain style of play, and may well have
different requirement for backhand and forehand. Notes on the back of rubber
packet or company information is often not that useful or accurate, so read as
many reviews on the rubbers you're interested in as possible, to help you make a
decision.
Note that there is no perfect
rubber out there, it's all about compromises. As your game develops you may well
require a different rubber to complement your new style. Have a go with friends
bats and rubber to see how you like them, that's the cheapest way to get a real
feel of what it's like. No description or review can describe how YOU will
experience the rubber.
