Ping Pong Accessories

Rubber, glue, edge tape and grips are what separate a paddle you tolerate from one you genuinely trust. Most players upgrade the wrong thing first. The rubber is usually the honest answer.

Rubber wears out long before a blade does, which makes replacing it the best-value upgrade in the sport. Keep a spare of whatever you use most and a roll of edge tape for the inevitable knocks, and your game never waits on a worn sheet or a lifting edge again.
