@@DimaOvtcharov thanks dima for the reply! Im very happy that pros this day are more accessible then in the past! I wiill cheer for you in tokyo! Great content!
I'm back. I never ever put new rubber on my bat's without watching this specific video from Dimitrij. It's just so straight up to the point, he is a happy person sharing information, and my glue jobs hold GREAT. Thank you Dimitrij!
I got to be honest, this video is not only informative (which served me good once) but also comforting for some reason. I made it my ritual to glue the rubbers along with Dima every time I change mine :) Thank you!
Thanks for posting! I didn’t know these before: 1. Using bigger sponge for better glue spreading 2. Two or three layers of glue for more power 3. Only tape the bottom of the paddle
@@randsp3c709 the tape adds a little weight. few grams actually make a difference to some players. I don´t know how the tape makes the racket slower though. Taping the bottom saves the rubbers from being ripped off if u hit the table when pushing with downspin.
Thank you very much! It is so important to know how a champion glue his paddle together. Every step scientifically makes sense. I always wondered why the ball doesn't bounce straight up and down on my paddle. I think I can fix that problem now. It is so nice of Dimitrij to show this to his fans and TT players around the world. Manny thanks to Dimitrij the Champion!
@@prodbyaye8751 6:24 in the video he mentioned 2 ways to lay the rubber (hard or soft). The harder method is probably how you make it bounce better. Imagine landing a ball on concrete vs carpet.
I did 3 layers of glue and stretched the rubbers. My trainer thought I trained secretly because my shots had much higher quality. But if you do both these things your rubbers really are faster and harder.
I just bought my first set of replacement rubbers (and glue and sponge and....) so this video was EXACTLY what I needed. Someone assembled my paddle back in the day (1993) so I think it's time to change the rubbers :D I would have never guessed that you apply the rubber to the paddle AFTER the glue is dry and then roll it ! Very informative and well explained !
Thanks Dmitri for this helpful video. U thoroughly covered all the major bases in a tolerable amount of time. I didnt know about multiple layering of the glue application. FYI, I used the video as a guide to glue Dignics 09c rubber to my forehand side. 😃
I used to use scissors that way, but got a much nicer bevel using a long and very sharp knife. Trimmed the rubber off roughly and fast with big scissors ( ~5 mm overhang), then with the knife, wetting the rubber on the smooth side with water and (very small amount of) soap as a surfactant/lubricant. The knife pulled down from the smooth side towards the sponge/racquet side in long strokes, resting the blade lightly against the wood. About 10 strokes of the knife completes the job. Later when I got better at this got about 3mm overhang with the scissors and then glue the other side's rubber and same thing with scissors. Then I could do both sides with the knife without waiting. This got a nice professional job that looked like it was done with a machine. It always puzzled me to see pro-players with up to 2mm (Ovtcharov excepted) overhang around the edge of their blades. That overhang is useless mass that is actually quite a bit of weight that contributes nothing to the strokes and takes a few feet/sec off the fastest whipping loop or smash, creates extra turbulence-drag, also slowing down the final velocity at ball-strike, and represents an area a pro would never come close to in a stroke. That overhang's mass' only useful attribute would be to lower transverse wobble instability and to widen (slightly) the sweet-spot. But if you want that, it would be even better to have an extra 2mm actual blade around the perimeter, and a good rubber-bevel from the blade-edge.
Once a rubber is glued on the racket you should not reglue that same rubber again. If you do that, it will give you a very different playing feeling. The bounce might be unregular.
Easily the best video on how to glue, unfortunately i did use a hair dryer before but nver knew the downside of this I also used to place the racket near the radiator!
It is so nice to learn this from a real champion. Please tell us what kind of blade and rubber you use too. And teach us how to play like you. I am your fan. ❤❤❤
Thank you Dima for this tip. It's only players who would understand the complexity of glueing a rubber. If one gets it wrong the feeling in the racket is lost and playing a match becomes a nightmare
Congratulations for the Bronze medal! What an awesome match! I am sure we will beat china in Olympia one day. If you or Timo won‘t do it, it’s gonna be the generation which has been inspired from you guys. I hope to see at least one o you two in the shoes of Rossi, to coach the next generation! :]
Thanks for this, I've thought about the stuff you said about rolling the rubber on before. Now I think I understand why people say their rubber has shrunk after they take it off - because they stretched the rubber when they put it on
I once removed a pre-assembled rubber from the blade and when i boosted it with a booster and tried to re-glue it...i was shock to know that rubber was smaller in size than the actual blade...i called the guy who assembled it for me...now i know the reason..xD
Hi Dima, I really enjoy your matches! I will be gluing a rubber in near future, and your tutorial helped me a lot! I am wondering which glue do you use?
Good tutorial through it seems to differ to what I was doing 20 years ago with speed glue. It seems to hold much longer those stuffs right? No one mention it or how much time you need to let it dry. I d like to know let s see if I ve training on Tuesday and Friday and match on Saturday or Sunday, how would you process that. I'm a bit lost in comparison with speed glue.
do you use Adhesive Protect Film to protect your rubbers? if not, can you share the reason why u are not using it? isit good and necessary to protect the rubber?
Дима, спасибо большое за интересное видио! Не могли бы вы сделать субтитры на разных языках что бы все могли смотреть и понимать о чём речь?))) Удачи на предстоящих играх!!!
Can the glue ever be too dry? Like if I'm doing two layers of glue on the rubber, would it be better to wait until the first layer is dry before putting glue on the blade? Then the blade and the rubber will be dry at the same time. Or does it not matter?
Informative video. The gluing process is like a ritual in which the player connects with his/her bat. Which side is the FH, which is the BH? Do you feel that you get more spin/venom from the black rubber?
Is there a certain side that you want to put the spinner rubber on FH or BH? I'm learning what rubber characteristics do you need on the BH vs FH? Also I thought you were supposed to use a sponge between the Blade & Rubber?
@@BuffaloNickel9 Most pro's have black as forehand. It's been said that the black rubber is grippier and harder than red. Nowadays with european rubbers it's not that pronounced. With hard Chinese rubbers black is certainly mire grippy and tacky.
Can I ask;- (1) I thought you should SPRAY the blade with Varnish (or at the very least strong hairspray [a few layers]) to help when it comes to changing the rubbers. (2) What do you do with all your used racquets? (3) For Competition: Is it permissible to use 2mm sponge tape on the edge before putting on edge finishing tape to help stop edge damage?
Its great! I was just gluing my racket at this time i was watching and its very helpful! Thanks... I play with the same blade... How much dima's blade whight?

@@RambO5018 it is not the weight. The tape does not weigh grams. It's like 1 gram max, doesn't make a different racket.

love ur explanation dima as always so enthusiastic
I feel like getting back into TT and start shopping for new blades and rubber.
Thank you so much! How often do I have to reglue the rubbers on my racket?
Once a rubber is glued on the racket you should not reglue that same rubber again. If you do that, it will give you a very different playing feeling. The bounce might be unregular.
Nothing better than advice from a professional. Will follow adviced

You can just use whatever you got lying around
For cutter - surgical or scalpel
For roller - a cylinder ( water bottle or a pipe )
Very Useful Thanks Dima ❤❤😊😊
