Hi All,
I apologise in advance if this ends up sounding really crazy....
I am a recreational League Player (as in I only play low level league matches due to time constraints with no "official" coaching or practice time) and have just moved into my 3rd season of playing TT and I wondered if I am just too inconsistent or if something really is going on?
I find that when I play in certain venues and the room temperature is on the low side (where I have to blow on my hands to keep them warm ), I find the shots that I am playing to have a different result than I expected or what I have had in the past playing what I think is the same shot.
I know that rubber has different characteristics when cold so I assume that this carries over into the TT world too ?
This is what I would like to know though......
Is there a different technique I need to apply in these colder situations? (and I suppose the opposite in summer ?)
Is there something I can do to keep the rubbers warmer ? Any tips or tricks ?
Am I just being inconsistent or is there some sense to my madness ?
Many thanks in advance.
