NO.1 table tennis review site

I've been playing table tennis for just under two years and am transitioning from a tension rubber. I tried a strong adhesive rubber straight away and it didn't work, so I was being cautious this time. I'm using it on my forehand side. When I think of adhesive, I think of lack of distance, hardness, and ball retention. But when I actually used it, I found it to be right in the middle between adhesive and tension, neither too much distance nor too little, neither too hard nor too soft. I wasn't at all confused by the difference in feel, and I didn't have any problems like dropping the ball into the net. Stops and flicks are stable, and looping balls extend after hitting the table. Powerful drives produce a fast ball with good spin. I also like the metallic cracking sound I hear when I hit a strong shot. There's not much of a drop in tension, so I think this rubber makes it easy to transition to a strong adhesive. If you're a tension rubber user considering switching to an adhesive, I highly recommend giving it a try.
