If you're a new player, it's important to understand the characteristics of ping pong paddle rubber. A sticky rubber is ideal for playing, but if it doesn't work, you can replace it. The texture of the rubber can also help you determine its type. Over time, the rubber can become soft, so if your rubber feels smooth, it may be time to change it.
A rough rubber texture is preferred as it allows for easy spin and optimal performance with your ping pong paddle. However, if the rubber becomes smooth, it will not allow the ball to spin and aggressive shots will be difficult to play.
What equipment you'll need to change your table tennis rubber?
There are a few items that a player needs to change the rubber on their ping pong paddle. Firstly, a table tennis paddle with replaceable rubber is required. Note that some table tennis paddles have fixed rubber, which cannot be changed. Thus, it is important to check before purchasing the equipment whether the rubber is replaceable or not.
To replace the rubber on your ping pong paddle, you need to start by removing the old rubber. Carefully peel off the rubber and remove it from the surface. When peeling the rubber, apply some pressure, but be patient and perform a peeling motion. Avoid using any ripping motions, as it may damage the old rubber.
After removing the old rubber, inspect the blades to ensure they are smooth and clean. If there is any glue left on the surface, remove it by scrubbing or sanding the area. If the blades are damaged, replace them first before installing the new rubber.
These are the steps that will help a player replace the rubber on their ping pong paddle. By doing this, the player can upgrade the table tennis rubber and get the most value from their paddle. They can then continue to play more aggressive and competitive games.
However, it is important to note that not all rubbers need to be replaced. Some are specially designed for new players and do not require replacement. If your rubber is old and you still want to give competitive shots, follow these steps to replace it.Get a daily dose of Hawaii Telegraph news through our daily email, its complimentary and keeps you fully up to date with world and business news as well.
