Answer for Glue layers

Hi Martin,

Using more glue layers doesn’t give any real performance increase, just perhaps a very slightly different feeling. Sometimes players use 2 layers of glue on the rubber and one on the blade (Depending on what type of glue and which rubber) as sometimes the first layer on the rubber is soaked up a lot and won’t give a good strong stick.

It certainly won’t make the bat play any better, just a case of getting a good stick really. Having another layer of glue on the rubber will give it an a ever so slightly softer feel but this is very minimal and most people wouldn’t feel any difference. Professional players all have their own way they like to glue which they are comfortable with but again that’s just preference and has a minimal impact on the bat.

So in short, you are right, as long as its sticks well together then keep going with it as you are 🙂
