Pimples-out rubbers come in 2 varieties: short/long pimples. Short pimples are great for people with a
fast blocking gameplay, while long pimples are better suited for defensive
players. On the flipside, the pimple in
rubbers (also known as reverse rubbers) provides the player with a wider range
of strokes to use and will allow a good amount of control.
If you are a serious player, buying a custom paddle is the
way to go. Most suppliers, such as
Butterfly, Stiga and TSP provide options for buying custom paddles. Otherwise, I will also provide you with a few
links to additional sources.

Along with this, I will also provide you with a great site
with tips for choosing your first custom paddle.

Changing the rubbers of a ping pong paddle can take between
15-20 minutes of your time and a lot of precision. I will send you a how-to guide that will take
you through the steps.

To begin, I recommend
getting a rubber with a thickness of 1.5-1.7mm.
I prefer Butterfly Sriver rubbers myself; however many of my friends
would argue that Butterfly Flextra and Donic Coppa Tenero make better rubbers
for your paddle. I will send you links
for all three, but still recommend you look around a little for yourself.
