Pro Tips: How to Glue Your Table Tennis Racket

[@tl4778]

Hi iba diaw,it would be very nice if you could give us a tutorial on how to predict which direction the ball will come?

[@tomislavkatic4701]

Bro you are tidy😌 It looks flowless👏🏼👏🏼

[@IbaDiaw]

Thanks 😁

[@johnm2310]

8:13 when you press down on the rubbers..wouldnt it stretch the rubber?...maybe offer different bounce and spin?

[@IbaDiaw]

Well that’s the reason why I put the rubber with my elbow. I believe that it easier to reproduce the same pressure ! 😁

[@nicolasgrueso8190]

Thanks Iba!

[@octopus4294]

Nice

[@mkisyov]

could you give us more insights about the curvature of the black rubber, please? Could you send me one, used is OK, please? I would like to compare it against the C53 which is market available. Also, what's the weight of the assembled racket and rubbers? Do you have a preferable weight? Could you also make a comparison between your previous blade and rubbers and new ones, please? Was there any change required in your technique due to hybrid rubbers? Much Love!

[@IbaDiaw]

Well my “not to use rubbers” has been dying for a long time in my closet that why it’s curved like this 🥴 I don’t mind the weight, I’m not so much into that! And I’ll take you question into consideration and talk about it in my podcast ! 😁

[@mkisyov]

@@IbaDiaw thank you got the reply! Could you also send me the tracking number of the parcel with your old rubbers in private message, please? 😂 Thanks and much love!

[@Harry-t5x2j]

Hey Iba i love your channel I’ve been watching it for two years now keep up the good work. I also hope you can make it to the top 50. Can you send me a link to where i can buy the rubbers?

[@yuhani123]

Thanks for the tutorial, I also follow your recommendation use both side of my rakect with C53, but in your image thumnail you use R53 😊, what is the different between both of them

[@IbaDiaw]

Yes I use C53 give more spin the R53 😁

[@wilmslowleaguetabletennis2539]

Great to see you come back, do you varnish your blade?

[@IbaDiaw]

No I don’t. I just scratch it wit sand paper a bit !

[@z0uLess]

I dont know why all the instructional videos cut the actual spreading out of the glue ... this is the most techincal part of the process and the technique itself should be highlighted in order teach how to get an even layer of glue

[@loechannel9757]

Sometimes must be reglue rubber or not? But the problem with the rubber will shrink if we open it from the blade. Or Use until break the rubber before we change the new one?

[@Oliver-e6e]

Nice vid iba! why'd you change from one layer of glue on the rubber to two?

[@IbaDiaw]

Because I’m playing with Carbon now 😁

[@aojes1]

You may need a roller to put the rubber on the blade

[@PedroPereira-is1hc]

And booster?

[@IbaDiaw]

Booster is forbidden 🙅🏾‍♂️😁

[@paduancitystanley1825]

You didn't think it would be better to put a link to the sponsor's website to get the rubber and the blade you use

[@adam-ghounim_2007.]

Hi iba i are using boosters?

[@IbaDiaw]

No 🙅🏾‍♂️

[@martinvanrijn1172]

Hi Iba, what is the weight of youre blade?

[@jimmyb5079]

Hi Ibra, why two layers ? Is that change something to put one big layer ?

[@IbaDiaw]

I believe it’s will give a better bounces as the racket is more dry because of the carbon ! Again, it’s my feeling 😁

[@bau7917]

satisfying!

[@IbaDiaw]

[@jprodriguez6343]

hello, the legend says that pro players play different equipment from the market. What do you think ?

[@IbaDiaw]

Can you buy the same racket as Djokovic or the same club as Tiger Woods ? 😁

[@Mo93___]

@@IbaDiaw so there are differents or not iba ? :)

[@cosgg940]

hi iba, tell me please is it big diference between what you have and the comercial version?

[@666owl666]

It’s not a legend. 100% true.

[@cecemel2836]

hybrid rubber are not a bit difficult to use in bh ? thanks for the video, a pleasure :))

[@IbaDiaw]

I believe that you need a good backhand technique before to use hybrid rubbers specially in backhand ! At one level, we almost never block so we need a spiny rubber 😁

[@cecemel2836]

@@IbaDiawI see and I think the same ! (Good old tensor are nice for amateur player definitely) A more touchy question, we all know that pro rubbers are different but is it only hardness and 2/3 « little » variables or is it totally different ?

[@cosgg940]

hi, i notice your rubbers are curved, did you use booster?

[@IbaDiaw]

If I was boosting the rubber would have been curved the other way ! 😁 This rubbers was use for presentation only 😉

[@tabletennistips5232]

So what did you do with your old rubbers return or throw away ?

[@Harley1-w1q]

Throw away

[@Virralclipps]

I noticed you haven’t customized your blade line you used to. Is that a change or because it is a new one ?

[@IbaDiaw]

It’s a totally new blade, I’ll shape it the way I want later on 😁

[@przemysaw3964]

Black definitely boosted :)

@@IbaDiaw I don't have problem with that :)

[@benhermans8214]

Are you using R53 instead of C53 now?

[@IbaDiaw]

No I still use C53 😁

[@nk12751]

Iba, what glue do you use?

[@IbaDiaw]

Andro Pro Glue 😁
