Why You Don't Need the Fastest Rubber to Be a Good Player

Why You Don't Need the Fastest Rubber to Be a Good Player
It’s tempting to get caught up in the hype surrounding the latest high-tech table tennis rubbers and blades. With all the marketing buzz around advanced Tensor technology and popular products like the Butterfly Tenergy series, Dignics series, Super ALC, Super ZLC, it's easy to believe that having the fastest equipment is the key to becoming a better player. However, for most amateur and intermediate players, especially those who are still developing their skills, super-fast equipment can actually be a hindrance rather than a help.

Right. 47.5 is the absolut maximum on the BH for beginner. You can add about 2 ESN Hardness for the VH. I've tryied Dragon GRIP XH in the beginning and I can honestly say that it's unplayable for me even after 2y of training. Now I can play a Dig 09c tough but I don't want to.

[@Pvtepingpong]

You dont even need to blow the budget. Ali express has heaps of blades that are cheap and play just fine for beginners and intermediate players. If youre starting out, try the Yinhe n10s paired with friendship 729 cross rubbers. Whole setup is around 50 AUD

[@twenty4seven368]

Korbel is good blade for beginners/intermediates. However, timo boll spirit still too fast for beginners and many intermediates.

[@rumyancevkv]

@@twenty4seven368 korbel is so fast and hard for many people! May be slow need racket? Primorac +Fastark rubber?

[@matthiasglaschke5946]

Primorac Off-, Tibhar Samsonov Alpha or Waldner Senso Carbon are also great blades to start with and still good for intermediate players.

[@rumyancevkv]

@@matthiasglaschke5946 and what rubber for this blade ?

[@matthiasglaschke5946]

@@rumyancevkv It's better to choose a harder rubber for forehand, at least medium hard. For the backhand, go a little bit softer like 2 to 3 degree. Are you a beginner?

[@rumyancevkv]

@@matthiasglaschke5946 i am entermediat level.

[@theondaha]

I used FZD Super ZLC with D09C FH - D05 BH, i think it really fast and i can't control it very well, i want to switch to alc/super alc blade, what do you think the best set up rubber - wood combination?

[@dogma7897]

I play amateur for 3 y but without training. I have yasaka extra offensive and hurricane 40 and battle 2 gold 41. I like battle 2 more maybe also because hardness. Forehand and backhand also. Is it ok? What you recommend for backhand(I’m still looking for a alternatives)

[@justinacosta916]

@@dogma7897 try using hybrid rubber like tibhar k2, xiom vega hybrid, nittaku hammond z2, LOKI GTX

[@GenshinoGuy]

Oh wow, China literally produces new Ma Long copies from the industry

[@JLFig-o3l]

Im using mozutqni jun super zlc with glayzer on both sides of the blade and im intermediate but almost advanced is this a good setup?

[@srkstik__]

it is, i would sell the blade and buy a slower one tho 😂

[@phildurre9492]

i tried a faster blade and it was a horrible experience. (ALC)

[@michielschimmel]

timo boll spirit is a fast blade NOT a beginner blade.... DHS hurricane 3 neo is tacky and stiga DNA Platinum DNA is fast and are totally opposites... For beginner would advise PALIO AK47 red instead . With a price 13 $ you cannot go wrong imo and go further from that with more tacky or speedy rubbers

[@cuongtkong58]

Team China: It's not the equipment that matters; it's the player! Wang Chuqin: THEY BROKE MY RACKET! THEY BROKE MY RACKET! WAAAAAAAH!!!

[@isvyglitch3851]

he was pretty mature about it after the game whit truls, didnt even blame the brocken racket, but i guess you only see what you want

[@cuongtkong58]

@@isvyglitch3851 Why don't you go and SEE how he reacted the moment he found out his racket was broken, first . . . and not how "mature" he was a day, or a match later with a different opponent.

[@twenty4seven368]

@@cuongtkong58 I would be pissed. Anyone would be pissed to see their racket broken at one of the biggest stage.

[@cuongtkong58]

@@twenty4seven368 Yes, that's exactly how someone who is dependent on his equipment would react because he knows that it's his racket that gives him the advantage over his opponent and not his skills. Haven't you seen any kung fu movies where a true master can just pick up any stick off of the ground and beat another master with his own sword? Now, that's what you'd call skills.

[@benstrutz606]

@@cuongtkong58 tell me you know nothing about table tennis without saying i know nothing about table tennis. even the best player in the world couldnt beat another top 500 player with a begginers bat. equipments isnt everything but it is godamn helpfull at that level and such a minor change doesnt only change your phyiscal but also you mental by making you frustrated. also its not that his racket gives him an advantage over but it is that it gives him an equal level because all top pros dont have restrictions from equipment.
