Age has NOTHING whatsoever to do with what rubber type you should be using.
Of course the robotNazis & coaches who engage in coaching malpractice wants to pip shame every newbie (especially children) into thinking that all new players must start in the sport only using
(click link >) dumb rackets and should not use smart rackets.
The unofficial mission statement of IOC & ITTF for table tennis is pip shaming & booster grooming
I have firsthand knowledge of this bullying & brainwashing
I wasted the first 10 years of my prime youth was brainwashed into believing that using dumb rackets is the ONLY NORMAL way to play table tennis though I was a natural chopper.
All newbies must be starting in the sport using a smart racket not a dumb racket. There is a 90% probability they will NOT fail. On the other hand there is a 90% probability that newbies will fail with a dumb racket.
Yet the robotNazis want everyone to waste their time playing using a dumb racket .
Despite more & more players beginning to realize the enormous stupidity of the brainwashing & disinformation campaign by the robotNazis , their peer pressure is so intense & most young players are terrified of using smart rackets for fear of social rejection & worse ridicule and outright bullying in many proven cases.
The only exception have been the Indian girls & women
The Indian boys & (young) men still suffer extreme peer pressure not to use smart rackets
The peer pressure to confirm & fit in is far worse in places like Sweden & most countries of West Asia & the entire continent of Africa
"African Chopper" has to be the biggest OxyMoron in table tennis
