Rubber Spots on Table Tennis


By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



Apart from the slippery/inverted type of rubber, in table tennis games it is also permissible to use other types of rubber such as speckled rubber or anti-spin/power rubber.

Short Spots/ Attack Spots/ Binser:
Short pimples-out bands are usually used by hitters (read: hit flat, low spin) who play close to the table. Short spots do not produce as much spin as smooth/inverted rubber, but make it easier for the wearer to deal with the opponent's spin. The speed produced from short pimples is generally higher than that produced by inverted even with the same sponge. Depending on the thickness of the sponge, short pimples can also be used to chop with the various spins they can produce. When doing blocks and attacks often produce deadballs (read: dead balls float as if without spin).

Long Spots/ Persistent Spots:
The spots on the long pimples-out rubber are relatively long and soft. Long Spot is unable to generate spins of its own, but instead relies on spins from opponents. This is used by the wearer to confuse opponents and break their rhythm. Long Spot relies on the incoming opponent's ball spin, tends to continue the opponent's spin (read: the ball comes topsin, returns backspin), because it bends at impact, the result is to reverse or change the incoming spin, unlike in a smooth/inverted rubber.

Long Spot Rubber is usually used by near-table block players, choppers, but in some cases can also be used away from the table for long distance chop shots. Long Spotted Rubber is usually only used on the backhand side, with limited attacks on this side. The Long Spot also allows for aggressive play, despite their low ability to generate spin.

Now it's the player's turn, which type of character do you want to use? Just adjust to each other's tastes to support maximum performance. (End)
