Here's How You Can Protect Your Racket When You Change a Table Tennis Rubber

For obvious reasons, ping pong rackets are the most useful equipment for any table tennis player due to their role in their play. It is also important to adjust a table tennis rubber with an outstanding technique that does not harm the blade. Every beginner learns how to stick a rubber properly early in his or her experience.

On the other hand, they even discover how to remove them. It's not necessarily difficult, but it takes a careful touch, so blade damage (splintering) is likely. If you have the right adhesive, one that is strong, it makes the job less stressful.

Table tennis racket rubber replacement requires care and the proper technique. Step one is removing the old one without causing any splintering. You need to avoid damaging the wood blade surface, or you'll ruin it after a few changes. An excellent technique requires you to pull the rubber off in a diagonal direction.

So be sure to be working opposite the wood grain. Once you have it off, consider seriously sealing your blade with clear polyurethane. It can help protect the surface in the long run and isn't tough to apply. The sealer lets you remove rubber with less chance of damage.

Another essential part of changing rubbers is trimming the new ones carefully. It looks best to have the logo above the grip. When you have things lined up properly, place the blade on the rubber sheet and trace it neatly around the edges. Then trim just as precisely as you outlined, so the final results are even and consistent.

Before you open the adhesive, put some paper or plastic on your table. As it's imminent, there's going to be a drip. Do the activities above the table, so you don't get any drops on your clothing & shoes or on the floor. Based on the products, it's hard to remove glue from your clothing.

It can sound simple, still, read the product label and follow the instructions before opening the adhesive container. If you have purchased a newer water-based substance, there might be a delay of a few minutes between adding it and pushing both sides together. Ensure that a liberal but uniformly dispersed adhesive coat is added to both the blade surface and the rubber.

Almost everyone uses a roller to go over the surface to ensure the adhesion is even and firm. You need a consistent bond that is flat for the best performance during play. Good sets of rubbers aren't cheap, so make sure you do a perfect job.
