How to choose table tennis rubbers ?

Choosing table tennis rubbers can be quite tough especially if you are new to the game and looking to buy your first custom paddle.

In one of my previous post, we saw how working out your style of play is vital before you can decide what type of rubbers or blade to go for. If you don't know your style of play properly, you risk of buying the wrong rubbers.

Here is a list of important things you need to know before you contemplate buying table tennis rubbers:
The sponge hardness, Pimples Tackiness, Speed Glue, Weight
Each one of them has a certain effect on the ball and depending on your style (offensive or defensive) you will need to choose accordingly.
