adhesive covers

[riemsesy]

I bought some Nittaku adhesive covers for the rubbers
Very beautiful, but a little too thin and I think they won't last that long because they'te too flimsy

The red DHS stick protective covers are a bit thicker.

What covers do you use and how long they last?

Tabletennis11 own or Donic.

Donics are a little thinner than Tabletennis11's but there fine. Both will last. My tabletennis11's have been in use for a year and my Donics fo 6 months.

I like Nittaku equipment, but their adhesive covers aren't very good. They lose their stickiness quite quickly. Gewo's covers are much better (they stay sticky for several months).

I don't like sticky covers, they are dust magnets. I use the non sticky ones even on non sticky rubbers. If you put them on just as Your rubber is dry from cleaning they will stick good enough to a non sticky rubber.

Most aliexpress shops send one as bonus. So I mostly use either that or the best one is the white glue cover foil of Hurricane 3 or Yinhe glue cover foil😂
I like the Yinhe Moon Blue gift cover that's in the package too, it's so cute. This one is a sticky one but I don't remove the cover on the sticky layer. I don't fancy sticky adhesive covers since they get all crusty and yucky.

I don't think I ever bought a cover, just use what I get as gift or be creative with it.

The butterfly ones are almost too sturdy and sticky ... it feels like its going to rip off the top layer of my rubbers. It all depends tho. I like to have backup equipment, so I notice how different rubbers, blades, protector sheets and basically everything functions differently when broken in or when exposed to a cleaning and storage ruitine over time. It makes me wonder why we even bother with hyperfocusing on equipment this much and why there is so much choice. The exact same setup always feels different.

I use Donic and Nittaku adhesive covers. Never had a problem with Nittaku ones, I've been using them for years.
Even when they get all dusty and don't stick anymore, just wash them with soap water & let them dry and they will be as good as new.

I dont use sticky ones. I use the non-sticky blue DHS ones. but i just bought a ten pack of the stiga ones from aliexpress for like $2. I put the cover on the rubber, then the head of my paddle inside a quart sized freezer ziplock bag.

My experience is that these non=sticky ones don't stick enough.

I got 2 very decent plastic sheets with 2 Yinhe rubbers I bought. They'll probably last forever.
I have a Gewo plastic envelope to put the racket into after the plastic covers go on, then into the Racket Case.

Don't even need soap, just rub off the crud under a stream of warm water will do the trick
