Player age & rubber type

[Robert ^^]

I was just wondering how age relates to the rubber or racket you use .

Here in Sweden all I here is how a rubber with same smooth rubber both sides is the only normal racket and new players, especially young ones, should not be using abnormal surfaces like long pips

I hope I am not offending anyone

Age has NOTHING whatsoever to do with what rubber type you should be using.

Of course the robotNazis & coaches who engage in coaching malpractice wants to pip shame every newbie (especially children) into thinking that all new players must start in the sport only using (click link >) dumb rackets and should not use smart rackets.

The unofficial mission statement of IOC & ITTF for table tennis is pip shaming & booster grooming

I have firsthand knowledge of this bullying & brainwashing
I wasted the first 10 years of my prime youth was brainwashed into believing that using dumb rackets is the ONLY NORMAL way to play table tennis though I was a natural chopper.

All newbies must be starting in the sport using a smart racket not a dumb racket. There is a 90% probability they will NOT fail. On the other hand there is a 90% probability that newbies will fail with a dumb racket.

Yet the robotNazis want everyone to waste their time playing using a dumb racket .

Despite more & more players beginning to realize the enormous stupidity of the brainwashing & disinformation campaign by the robotNazis , their peer pressure is so intense & most young players are terrified of using smart rackets for fear of social rejection & worse ridicule and outright bullying in many proven cases.

The only exception have been the Indian girls & women
The Indian boys & (young) men still suffer extreme peer pressure not to use smart rackets

The peer pressure to confirm & fit in is far worse in places like Sweden & most countries of West Asia & the entire continent of Africa
"African Chopper" has to be the biggest OxyMoron in table tennis
