In table tennis, speed glue is an adhesive used to attach rubber surfaces to the racquet or paddle. Quick glue is usually applied about 30 minutes before the start of the game. It has been found that the use of speed glue increases the elasticity of the racquet, which gives the ball speed and rotation. To begin with, in 1995, the ITTF banned many substances associated with ping-pong bats, including solvents with benzene rings, halogenated solvents and N-hexane. This was followed by a general ban on fast glue. The other issue with speed glues that may not bother the top-ranked players too much is the extra cost. The quick glue forces players to change their club rubber more regularly than usual, resulting in an additional cost. In terms of gameplay, Speed Glue has a few drawbacks. Due to the increased thickness of the sponge, the speed increases, but as mentioned earlier, the control usually decreases with increasing speed. Even after several reglues, the quick glue begins to accumulate on the racket, increasing the weight of the racket.

The sensitivity of table tennis blades is such that a few extra grams can prevent the player from performing as well. The more adhesive accumulates on the rubber, the more adhesive must be applied to the next application to achieve the same effect. After 5 to 10 layers of glue, some players peel off the old glue to reduce the weight of the sponge and reduce the amount of glue needed to achieve optimal effect. Another disadvantage is that the increased tension on the sponge by the adhesive causes the rubber to wear faster than usual. To extend the life of the rubber, some players remove the rubber from the blade after playing, allowing the rubber to contract naturally instead of remaining loaded on the blade. Read below to understand the difference between VOC adhesive and water-based adhesives. I also recommend the top 5 water glues best suited for rubber performance in table tennis. Three main types of fast and other adhesives have been banned by the ITTF since 2008. These include: So if you want to use the adhesive film to glue your rubber, here is the list of my favorite adhesive film: I glued friendly fight 2 45 degrees to primorac 5 ply according to the instructions: a layer on a blade, a layer on a sponge, wait 10 minutes and stick with a rubber roller.

After that, I hold it under a fine weight around 10 kg and it adheres very well The thick glue and strong glue are always good. It ensures the high «contact» between the ball and the blade. That`s why Ma Long, Wang Hao, Timo Boll, etc. always use thick and strong glue. A second layer of glue is applied to the rubber, just like I did layer 1. The similar glue is Haifu Water-Solubility glue (see info). Chinese internationals such as Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Ma Long use Haifu glue to glue their personal national hurricane rubbers. It is important to distinguish between adhesives that contain VOCs and those that do not. Since 1 September 2008, it has been prohibited to limit VOCs and treatments. Edit: Please note that quick glue is no longer legal under ITTF regulations.

The best Chinese players use very thick glue – Look at the layer of glue thickness on Ma Long and Wang Hao`s personal rubber. The problem, however, is that it`s not easy to know if a table tennis bat was stuck quickly. Since the 2008 speed glue ban, most (if not all) professional gamers have switched to using boosters instead of fresh glue. While the speed glue originally contained a large amount of VOCs that produced the extra velocity and spin (just before the ban, there was speed glue that was VOC-free), the booster does not contain almost the same amount of VOCs and is usually an oil-based product. Note that boosters do not have an adhesive component, so after putting on a rubber, you will still need glue to attach it to your blade. Another thing to note is that the effects of most boosters last much longer than the old fast glues, even up to a month! Istvan Jonyer, Gabor Gergely and Tibor Klampar are some of the others who actively used speed glue on their table tennis bats, which contributed to its common rise among European table tennis players. Here is the full ppball video showing you how to stretch and glue Chinese rubbers: As a rule, speed glue was applied a few minutes before the start of a game for maximum effect. Why do professionals tune their Chinese rubbers? Because the booster improves the fight for +10% speed and 15% spin.

Detecting fast glue is sometimes very difficult. If the paddle makes a very distinctive high noise on contact, the paddle may have speed glue. By holding the paddle, the person may notice weight gain compared to an untreated paddle. In addition, there is a distinct smell emitted by some quick glues when used. Finally, this ban will also save you money! Because having to buy 2x Bryce and Fair-Chack glue every 3/4 months is more expensive than having to buy 2x Bryce Power sponge every 3/4 months. With all water-based table tennis adhesives, it is very important to let the glue dry before applying the rubber. Otherwise, the chemical compound is not completely finished, the adhesion is very weak (bad bonding). Google Helps: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_glue Hello sir! I tried to start with a relatively average road setup. I received a «Ma Lin Carbon» from Yasaka and a set of Yasaka Mark V 1.8 and Mark V Max FH bras.

I wonder if you could tell me which glue to use? Are they considered hard Chinese rubbers? This is the first blade and rubber set I`ve ever had. I didn`t want a high-speed paddle. I want to learn my control and my feeling for the ball. I really want to be able to make a good ghost service and have the ability to grind a good chop. What do you recommend? Thank you! First, let`s look at what table tennis players mean when we talk about speed bonding and boosting. Simply put, quick bonding is the process of attaching rubber to the blade by placing a new layer (or layers) of glue on the rubber sponge (and usually on the blade). This fresh glue then increases the speed and spin that the rubber can produce for a short time, usually a few hours. After this time, the effect fades and the rubbers return to almost normal. The rubbers can then be removed from the blade and reglued to achieve the same quick glue effect again. The increased speed and rotation allows players who are not as strong as others to hit the ball with wild power and rotation. Personally, I can confirm that I play 13-year-olds with small sizes and small mounts, which can hit almost as hard as adults who play in professional leagues.
