- What table tennis rubbers are most popular with amateur table tennis players? To answer this question, I conducted a survey, asking players what rubbers they currently use for their forehand and backhand.
I sent the survey to subscribers of my mailing list and RUclips channel, various table tennis Facebook groups and users of the Table Tennis Daily forum.
In total, I received 594 responses from players from 70 different countries.

He’s one of the reviewers that aren’t sellout . Kudos
You represent joola but didn't lie or underestimated other brands! Great job. Honest review
yeah greetings from germany, there are a lot of good product, but some are best.
10:56 are u f stupid? He said cheap alternative and Joola costs 54EURO
Top 20 blades next please!
#1 is Viscaria, #2 is Long 5, #3 is Clipper (maybe?)
@@blueheart9873 No way, Boll alc is more popular in Europe. Also many players use different blades, rubbers are different.
Hello there!!!
Please! Please!
Make a video about best amateur rubber and best amatuer blades...
And also best all around rubber/baldes... Since most of the viewers are amateurs to intermediate players and it will be useful to us.😃🙂
These are some great test results! Btw the G-1 is Made in Germany but most popular in Japan.
yep, it says made in Germany on the rubber! I have it :D
the company its sold under is Nittaku. japanese. but yes made in germany is coorporation with Donic. Great rubber.
Nice job Tom, very interesting piece of research!
Great video and intense research. Really appreciate the content and hardwork put in along with accurate statistics. The data displayed is very correct and Thank you :)
Would also await the same kind of video for Blades and Ply as well. (Carbon and All Wood)
This video was just awesome and was very informative...in choosing rubber....Can u make a video on which blade to use based on this video...
Really good video Tom! Love your reviews videos, but why you don't upload this to your main channel?
I greatly appreciate the helpful video on rubber reviews as it significantly aided my decision-making process amidst the overwhelming array of options. I was wondering if a similar video is available for reviewing blades on your platform. If not, can I kindly request a review of blade options as well? Thank you.
Nice video. Please mention/ clarify the choice for Forehand & Backhand rubbers.
Spectacular video
Very nice insight
Great video 👍 Now, we want Top 20 most popular blades, please 🙏
How about choosing the right wooden paddle itself for a shake hand grip Coach Tom ?
Great Video
what could you say about Andro Tom, what are your experiences ideas of that rubber?
Good video. Please make a video about most popular blades.
very nice video i use Yasaka rakza z extra hard instead of Dignics 09C because Yasaka rakza z extra hard much cheaper :-)
What do you think of Colestt rubbers? That's what I've been using (intermediate player)
Thie Dignics 09c is definitely priced higher than others, but so far it has lasted 3 times longer than previous rubbers I have used. The current sheet I have is almost 1 year old.
when you used 09c it seemed like you could actually serve short!!!
nice!!
For attacking playing style, what rubbers should be on the forehand side and which rubber is on the backhand side for beginner?
Nice video. Please can you made video about best rubbers with lower price. Not every one can affort Dicnics or Tenergy.
Didn't mention if you use same rubber for forehand and backhand
Nice to video 👍
Hi Tom, great piece of research. Dignics 09c was great but just too expensive at c. £80 a sheet. I would be interested to see the top 20 sorted by price. I've gone to the DHS 3 Neo at £24.99 a sheet instead of the 09c at £80. I personally think being able to have new rubber more often works better for me.
I agree with you.
I'm surprised that Yasaka Mark V is in there, that dates back to late 70's I think as a Brand, although it's probably changed abilities over the years. Thanks for the list Tom. regards from Yukon.
Plenty of coaches still recommend that rubber to their beginner students as their first rubber. Whether they should or not in 2024 is another conversation...
Hi Tom. How long do you play your rubbers usually? What would you be recommend amateur level players to play rubbers at maximum for 3x training a week? in months and maybe also training hours!! thanks a lot
Tabletennis has been my sport since 2 months. I have a standard Cornilleau racket. Are they good enough for now or should i invest in a better one or different rubber?
I'm a big cj8000 fan. Great for learning
Great and very cheap rubber. Go for the spin
I'm surprised Andro rubbers weren't so high on the list. I think they outperform the top 10 rubbers in at least some aspects
In durability perhaps?
Durability is a huge problem with Rasanter
Friendship Sky Wing (also named Sky King) is one of the best cheap rubbers imo, I can highly recommend it for starting players
very good video and personally I have tried most of these rubbers but it must be detailed that there are rubbers that work very well on the backhand but not on the forehand and on the contrary everything depends on the level of each player and I agree a lot with the Dignics 09c since In that series the rubbers last many months, but Butterfly didn't like that so they have reduced the durability of this series. I don't know about the other models 05, 64, 80 but with the 09c it lasts much less than before, the same at the level of the Tibhar rubbers are very good but they don't last at all, just like the tenergy 05 rubbers, which are very expensive for the durability they have.
So what rubber would you recommend for someone who spins well with a lot of rotation but usually spins over the table when opposed to somoene who is a fast contra player?
I didn't understand the question very well but if it is your case that you are the player who is looking for a lot of spin on the table and playing against someone who is waiting for your attack to counter it, it is difficult to know since everything depends in this case on the hardness of the rubber and of the spring effect of the same rubber and that determines the control of your game, currently the most common hardness used is 45° degrees on a European scale onwards as well as what wood you are using to have the best balance between spin speed and control and if If you tell me what equipment you use, I could maybe tell you what is the best thing you could use for your style of play.@@C-handle-r
Fun to see that I have used many of these rubbers myself haha!
What wood did you use in this video sir ? And what's its radius
It would be nice to have different list with consideration for cost, value, and durability.
The new hybrid rubber Joola Dynaryz ZGX is getting popular now and I have it on fh in Zhang Jike ALC with Joola Tronix ACC on the bh❤
Agreed! I have it on a Viscaria with DtecS Ox on the bh. Very nice combo
Did you try out Yasaka Rakza Z.
Wow I'm so impressed by it's quality.
is shlt imho
@@joky5485isnt suited to you
729 friendship battle 2 gold can be considered as a good forehand option as it has a tremendous grip and friendly price.
Most Hurricane Neo 3 users who try the Battle 2 Provincial blue sponge seem to think it's better, and many swap. The issue is, not enough are willing to try new things...
It's honestly fantastic.
I suspect people think they're buying the same rubber as Ma Long, they're not. The National version is nothing like the Neo that everyone buys, and then boosts, which lasts a month or two, and still isn't as good as the Battle 2P BS.
@@Lawsy2 im one of that rubber user..and i approved that..1st i use 729 battle 2 OS and feel great..i thought i would be better with more famous rubber, changed to Nittaku Fastarc G-1, then again to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft..but i just couldnt feel the same with Battle 2..Then i use Battle 2 Prov. BS and stick to it until now..worth every penny..
@@amirfirdaus3198 Nice!
I'm trying Battle 3 (black, 39) at the moment, and it plays very similarly in most ways, with a bit more low-end punch. I'm noticing, though, that even after several weeks of daily play, it cleans up like it's brand new. B2P BS already has amazing durability (especially compared with H3N), so I don't know how 729 has given Battle 3 enhanced longevity without lowering performance. It's pretty impressive and worth a try.
Hi Tom, as someone who has tried a few different things I can probably guess what ones on that list are mostly used for FH (for example D09C/H3 etc) and which ones mostly for BH (rakza 7, R42 etc) but I think it would be useful information for you to include in future videos.
Anyway, thank you for the information, good video
I've put a breakdown of most used rubbers for FH and BH at the very bottom of this article: www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/top-20-most-popular-table-tennis-rubbers-in-2024/
Hi Tom. Great video.
I've been using a Victas V22 for forehand in a Harimoto Innerforce ALC blade. I found it very interesting.
Switched to Dignics 05, felt like holding a bit better the ball, less grippy than V22.
Both are great rubbers. You should try V22.
Regards from Lima, Perú.
thank you so much..
Thank you very much for the video.
I have a question. I play with nittaku fastar P. I tried it many years ago, I liked it and I've been playing with it ever since. What is the difference with the G1?
Thank you so much
G1 represents grip. That means it is more spiny.
Having played 09c not sure if it’s an ideal rubber for blades. It doesn’t play as well with slower and softer blades. Plus you need faster racket speed.
Do you know of any good resources for theorizing backhand rubbers on a Avalox P500? I love the chinese style of play with powerful and long stroke spins on forehand, but I have a hard time finding the right type of backhand rubber for this style of play with a flexible and hard blade (koto outer layers creating bounce instead of the rubber creating bounce). I am looking for rubbers that dont have an excessive amount of bounce, but that is able to grip the ball at high speeds and add gears to the impact through the flex and bouncyness of the blade itself, all the while fascilitating the ability to generate spin in short strokes, like how the backhand stroke is.
Both my rubbers are inside the list: Baracuda for FH & Rozena for BH.
Baracuda is so nice rubber
I have Joola Dynaryz AGR and I like them very much.
I have the rakza 7 red as my BH. SUPER nice, easy to control... very good. My FH is donic blue star. Love the speed but not as spinny as id like, and less than one year later its lost its tack. Going to try dignics 05 and fastarc g1 to replace the blue star. I think ill land more loops with a bit more spin.
I change my rubbers every 6-7 weeks, but I practice 4 times a week and play competition at the weekend.
Tenergy 19 and 05FX.
It‘s a quite expensive sport🙈
@kaimacilvaine4111 bro! Honestly it makes sense. I play doubles at work maybe 4 times a week for 15 mins at a time lol
@@fasteel1467 I am using Rakza 7 on FH and Rakza 9 on BH!
What budget blade should I use for this combination : fastarc g-1 on FH and tenergy 05 on BH
I used Tenergy 80 fx on a slow blade for good spin. Was advised to try Andro R42 at around half the price (in Australia) on my second blade. Faster and grippier, it took a while, but the Tenergy 80 felt relatively lifeless when I tried the other blade again. I've stayed with the Andro, I like it better and it's much cheaper.
Interesting: I will give it a try. Also playing Tenergy 80FX. What is your experience on durability? Greetings from Germany (and thanks for this interesting video) :)
Any comments on Victas V-15?
BTF Viscaria/09c..... both sides. Done. :)
many rubbers to choose from and many blades as well, then figure out which rubber will fit best with which blade, after reading loads I think I am still confused
I really need help from a rubber conosseur. I like Sriver EL very much. But I'd like something more spinnier.
What should I use?
This rubber can already produce a lot of spin. If you really want even more spin and also a tad more speed, try Donic Baracuda!
Thanks. Just one point: when you say something like there are so many choices, so save yourselves a headache and pick something from this list, I would argue that there is almost no rubber suited for beginners or really low level players on that list. There are a couple which aren't too fast/springy (Mark V / Hurricane), but they're very grippy, and all the others would be ranked from Off- to Off+ I think. I guess this is because the people who answered your survey are, as you mentioned, mainly intermediate to advanced players, who most probably already have invested in and tried out multiple rubbers. So if you are in that playing level bracket, yes, staring from this list is probably a good idea, but if you're not, check out other reviews before spending around 2 x 50$ for rubbers that will be unusable for you.
Well, for a beginner who starts playing in a club and is doing drills with a coach I would think Mark V is very good (or would be, if it wasn't so overpriced). It's grippy, but a lot less so than modern high-end rubbers. If you want to develop and get used to spin you need a grippy rubber. But for a player who just wants to play with friends and got no interest in practicing table tennis there are better options
Dignics 09c has truly been my best forehand rubber.
Hi everyone! I have a question. What' s your opinion about Rxton 1 rubber?
Can you please suggest.... Affordable paddle
I am from India😊
I don't know which rubber to buy or use anymore, i lost my motivation for playing as i gained weight and lost my fitness while many players i know got training to compete at best level, i didn't have any training so i remained as beginner, but nevertheless, i keep buying so so many blades and rubbers, and i can't find any play style to suit me as sometimes i when with offensive style and other times i win with defensive style against different players, what i want to say is that if i am good then no matter which rubber it will work for me, if i am not good then no rubber can help me anyway.
Dignics 05 is supposed to have crazy longevity. Along with the Fastarc G1.
How aboyt Yinhe Mercury 2? I'm a beginner.
I use DHS paddle. Can I use butterfly rubber in it?
Of course brother your choice
I mount dignics 09c on my hurricane long 5, so far so goos
Nice moooves
Some believe the blade is most influential when evaluating the "system", you didn't mention what blades you mounted the rubbers on. Why?
It's simple: Butterfly make the best rubbers and always have, and have always been the leading choice among professionals and good amateurs, from Scriver to Byrce through to Tenergy and Dignics. They're worth the premium.
Blades make a huge difference also.
i like this
Hey I'd like to know what the green rubber is? I mean which brand.. I'd like to play a green rubber on my forehand😅
If you help me out, that would be great..
Greetings from Germany
Andro
Hey i am from india
played at national lvl ( highest )
Style all round
Fh is XIOM OMEGA 7 tour 1(50 degree)
Bh is killer pro 1.5
Blade cybershape carbon
D09C has a hard sponge, sticky top sheet and low throw? sounds like Friendship Battle 2? 😆
dignics 09c is my rubber, I can ensure you that it is the best
Not a surprise seeing butterfly on top. With all other brands getting way too expensive for what they offer many people can justify returning back or to the (arguably) best rubbers out there.
True.. They should have sticked to the lower price range.. But they probably think: high price price = premium status
When amateur player visit a table tennis shop he says: "I want the best racket regardless the price". Imagine what he would get.
@@user-hn2yi7mw4q Here in Germany you can't buy butterfly in a regular store. There are dedicated butterfly stores. and in my experience they really care for your playing style and level and recommend equipment based on this information. But yea I've been down the "best blade, best rubbers based on what the pros play" route, too. Takes a lot of guts admitting your level isn't quite up there 😁
Suggestion: very odd rubbers X) pimples, anti-spin and other weird stuff
Good❤❤
what difference can be between Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 05 Fx?
Fx has a softer sponge, it's more suited for players who play lots of spin but less speed. Dwell time will be a bit longer with the Fx. The difference is not huge though...
thanks Bas, much appreciated...@@aseq2
Interesting but most of those rubbers are so expensive😬😬😬😬,..I'll use Yinhe Moon Pro on my FH because it's cheap and somehow like DHS hurricane rubbers...
Seeing this video I made choice butterfly rozzena
Now for blades😁
I did not like the dignics 09c. Feels kind of dead to me. So I went back to the good old tenergy 05.
Well done 😅
Glue has not been dried before gluing
My personal opinion: Tibhar brand is number 1.
GEWO needs to do better promotion on their rubbers.. 😅😅
Thumbnail says "Top 20 Rubbers" I thought this was going to be a VERY different kind of video..........
7:32
Funny to see how you just deleted some answer...
I do not find Fastarc G1 spinny at all
I am from Germany, 64 Years old, playing a Andro R42 + All/s Carbon wood.
Nice raket. But I think will play with R48, or Butterfly Rubbers..
I am not a beginner, but not a very good Player. Too old 😢😢😢😢
Hi! I'm also 64 :) from Lima, Perú.
I've tried both. I find R42 too soft, even for backhand. R48 is a nice rubber but I think R47 is still a better forehand rubber.
I'm using Dignics 05 on forehand. I think Victas V22 is quite similar for a much slower price.
Yasaka Rakza 7 in backhand is a nice option but I really like Tenergy 19 a lot.
Regards!
chinese rubbers must be boosted or frequently speed glued if you want decent power
Hi! I am a huge fan..but I got after watching this video a bit disappointed. The way you glued the rubber! You don't user roller?? What?
The glue isn't dried yet. That's not good for the blade.
For the purposes of editing, I cut out the 15 mins of wet glue disappearing. Not sure anyone would have wanted to watch that!
Why have you got your finger there?
nice serves, kind of ghostish
he's working so hard testing #1.......give the man some Oxygen 😇
I know DHS hurricane 3 NEO is most popular in china
Maybe long pimples nów 😉
G-1 is made in Germany
Also every rubber description is just so generic. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Yinhe is the best for noobs
