Number of glue layers on rubber and blade

guni4you · Jan 3, 2020

Hi,

Does adding more thin layers of glue on rubber and blade give more control, feeling, speed and spin too? Like is there benefit to using 3 or 4 thin layers of glue on rubber and 2 layers on the blade? Or is it not true? Would like to know different experiences about this.

Thanks.

I don't recommend thick layers on hard sponged rubbers. Takes away its primary quality...

In any case, you need a lot of glue to make a noticeable difference. No need really.

Always thin layers.

Chinese rubbers weights more & with booster still more so I prefer more thin layers to keep the rubber well glued with the blade.

1 thick layer each

How many layers of free chack pro on new rubbers ie Dignics?
Does more layers on rubber change the feel?

The free chack pro is creating a thick layer. Hence, one layer on the Dignics 05 and one layer on the blade is more than enough (for me).

When the rubber is new, I usually use 2 layers of free chack pro. I feel like when I use 1 layer I get a feeling that it's a bit too watery/too thin. Also, it's easier to remove the glue afterwards / reapply new glue when I put 2 layers of glue on when the rubber is fresh

Would having 2 layers instead of 1 make it feel different for example softer.

The rubbers were put on brand new beginning of March with 1 layer on blade 1 layer on rubbers. Just wondering if I reglued with another layer on rubber would it make feel softer or any different.

I'm not sure if it's only in my head or what, but I feel like I get more stability when I put 2 layers instead of 1; it's like I can feel the ball better

3 layers on rubber, 1 layer on blade . Increase spin, control , consistency, and feels like I can grab the ball better,

Oh hell no. Only 1 on blade

2 medium thin on rubber and 1 medium on blade.

If you have good quality glue, one layer each on rubber and blade is enough. I suspect the reason why some people started to use multiple layers is because they were using bad glue which did not have enough rubber solids in it making multiple layers a requirement. In my opinion more than one layer is a waste of time and increases the chance of the glue layer being not uniform but I suppose some folks prefer the ritual and fetishistic aspects of racket assembly.

Adding one layer on the top sheet also makes the rubber tackier 🤣
