Rubbers for children at school

[CPH_Tiny]

My vote is for the Mercury 2. Pretty sure you can buy in bulk to get an even better price. And it's far better than any pre-made.

maybe yinhe mercury or mars, or some palio ak47's or reactor tornado v5 - all are cheap, can be used for kids as well

I need some advise from you rubber addicts.

A few trainers at our club give clinics for young children at schools. They bring a few tables, a bucket of balls, rackets and other equipment to introduce the kids to table tennis.

We have around 20 child-sized bats that need new rubber.

As we are a small club with a low membership fee and rely on subsidies, we must look for affordable rubbers for young children to practice with. When those kids become more interested, we help them invest in a better beginner blade and rubbers, but at that point, the parents will pay for the gear.

What rubbers would you advise? (did I say cheap?)

Have you glued to those blades before?
Or are they premades?
The last time I tried to take a rubber off of a premade racket, after 20 minutes of scraping and sanding I just gave up.
It was as if the sponge was the glue!
Other than that I would try Ali Express for something like this.

In the old shop in my mom’s hometown where I bought my Nittaku Miyagi, there is a lot of pretty much dead butterfly drivers in a pile. Selling for 15MYR a piece. Wonder if you can find such things in your vicinity or region.

In that shop i see crazy expensive butterfly Bryce, and an old moldy sign writing about speed glueing.

If they want to do a little upgrade and the parents have a little bit of money to spend Vega Europe could be a good choice. Soft and light, I think that would be great for kids

I remember back in my uni days how sports like this helped us blow off steam between tough classes and library cramming sessions.


It's awesome seeing teachers and trainers putting in the effort for student development like this, especially with budget constraints in education programs.


By the way if any of the older students or even the tutors helping out are struggling with https://mysupergeek.com/physics-assignment-help-service that explains all the spin and speed mechanics in table tennis, this site is seriously a game changer with real experts who get you results fast.


Keeps the academic side from killing the fun, you know? Anyway, hope you find those perfect soft rubbers that the graduates from these school intros will love upgrading later!

The easiest solution is just ask members at your club if they have any old sheets lying around. Mark V, Sriver, Aurus - stuff like that doesn't really die even after years in a drawer, and for school intro sessions it's more than good enough. Most clubs have a pile of that somewhere.

Mercury II and Moon Speed can be bought for around 7aud and 12aud respectively on aliexpress if you buy via the bundle deals; and you get some more discounts if you buy a lot of them. Free shipping. You need to buy at least 3 copies, but that's a given.

For cheap, usable and not really difficult to use rubbers I would go with either:
Sanwei T-88 III
Reactor Tornado V5
They are not really sticky - they appear to have some more tack than ESN, but plays not that different.
