SURVEY: What rubbers do you currently play with?

[TableTennisTom]

Hi TableTennisDaily Forum members

Tom Lodziak here. I’m doing some research into which rubbers are most popular amongst the amateur table tennis community.

I’ve created a very short survey, which will take less that two minutes to complete. In the survey I ask which rubber you currently use on your forehand and backhand, and what you like about these rubbers.

My plan is to publish the findings in some sort of league table of the most popular rubbers. This could help players explore new options when choosing their next rubbers.

If you have a spare moment, please complete my survey here: https://www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/table-tennis-rubber-survey-2022/

I see no question about blades. This information is as ( maybe more) important than rubber.

Fair point. Maybe next time (if there is next time), I will add a section on blades.

I'm going to leave the survey open for a couple of weeks and then I need to go through all the answers. So I will probably publish the results beginning of June.

Do we have to login to be able to fill out this survey?

Yes, quite interesting to see what the number 1 most popular rubber was amongst the survey sample. Here's the results for anyone who's interested... https://www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/the-most-popular-table-tennis-rubbers-in-2022/

Quoting Thom Yorke, no real surprises there!

The usual suspects, maybe a few smaller eyebrow raises lower on the list - probably due to the UK/United Episcopates of America slant. More french, german, swedish response might have swapped Joola out for Donic, Tibhar, Stiga.

I kinda like the overrepresentation (I think) of real rubber containing coverings. Small sample, though.

wow, !!!!! considering that this survey was launched as """" which rubbers are most popular amongst the amateur table tennis community.
these people seem to spend quite a lot of money on their rubbers.😎

Thank you! Didn't expect to see the H3 make it in the top 10. Would be interesting to see - if there is enough data - in which country which rubbers are the most popular. In Germany we see some regional differences because the large stores in these areas mostly try to sell their own brands e.g. Schöler&Micke = Andro https://www.andro.de/de/impressum = North Rhine-Westphalia, Sport Schreiner = Donic (https://www.donic.com/donic/custom/index/sCustom/47 and https://shop.sport-schreiner-tischtennis.de/sst/impressum) = Saarland and Tibhar is based just 8 km away from Donic...
