Durometer Hardness of Rubber Table Tennis Blades
Durometer Hardness of Rubber Table Tennis Blades
Rubber hardness determines the playing characteristics of table tennis blades (or paddles). However, depending on the manufacturer, hardness is measured on different Shore durometer scales. This Demonstration provides a conversion chart for the common durometer scales, so that different measures of rubber hardness can be converted and compared. A table for both topsheet and sponge for the common table tennis blades is given in the rubber hardness list.
