I was just wondering why dumb rackets are lot more popular than smart rackets
If you go to a sporting goods store , they only carry dumb rackets mostly with smooth rubbers with foam
Why are dumb rackets so popular in table tennis
Highly technical & extremely controversial topics. Not for the faint of heart
