Part 1 of 3 Pimples and Anti Spin Rubbers: Physical Appearance

Спорт

Many table tennis players don't know the difference between short, medium and long pimpled rubbers, nor anti spin, nor do they know the effect these rubbers can have on incoming spin. Often this lack of knowledge can lead to frustration as what look like basic beginner mistakes are made. People who use these types of equipment too may complain of inconsistencies in the way the ball bounces of the rubber, or say "these pimples aren't having the effect they should" when in reality, it's a lack of technique or understanding of what the rubbers are capable of which is the cause.
In this first of a 3 part series we will look at the physical properties of typical short, medium and long pimpled rubbers and an old sheet of Butterfly Super Anti comparing the surface of each rubber, pimples structure and size, and variations in grip and bounce.
In the second video we will show you high speed film of a ball with different types of spin making contact with various parts of a bat and the spin which these rubbers then return.
In the third video we draw together some general observations so that next time you play these types of rubbers, or play with them, you'll have a better idea of what to expect and hopefully a greater understanding of spin which you can go on to explore in more detail yourselves.

    Its amazing to see how much influence the sponge has over the ball drop test. Wouldn't mind seeing a drop test using the same top sheet with different sponges although i don't know how you would test gears.

    In low rank competitions I've seen players with normal inverted rubber win like 25% of there matches and a season later they use long pimpels and win 60% ! So that is boosting pure because of material not trough skill! From that perspective I see what you mean, but when you get to know how it works it's good fun to play against a long pips player and the different kind of rubbers give TT more variaty and therefor even more interesting.
