Hello,
I am wondering what is all about with this new trend generated by almost all tennis table equipment vendors to bring hard rubbers to the market.
Examples: MX-P 50, Tenergy 05 Hard, Dignics 09c, Rasanter R53, etc.
Is this a reaction to the new plastic ball? What are the benefits of using these hard rubbers with the new plastic ball?
Are we witnessing the creation of a new style of play?
If this is just a reaction to the Chinese rubbers (Hurricane) why the vendors are doing it right now?
Is this just a marketing stuff? Since a very hard rubber feels dead on a lot of blades and you need to put a lot of power in your stroke to generate the spin which is quite difficult for an amateur because he does not have the proper technique/ physical training/stamina/agility, how all these vendors think that the vast majority of the players will use these hard rubbers?
Indirectly they forces you to use a booster on these rubbers to get a spring/tensor effect but the booster is illegal.
