Ever wonder about what bounce / spin / throw coeffecient values do in ETT?
- Bounce is quite straightforward: It’s the outgoing speed of the ball comparing to the incoming speed.
- Spin can be loosely understood as the amount of spin you can generate while brushing the ball.
- Throw Coeffecient is a programmatic multiplier on the effect of incoming spin on the paddle; that is, with incoming topsin to your paddle (held perpendicular to the table surface), a higher throw (> 1.0) will cause the ball to reflect off your paddle more towards the ceiling, whereas a lower throw (< 1.0) will cause the ball to reflect less (and at 0.0 throw, the paddle would not react to incoming spin at all). Similarly, with incoming backspin to your paddle, a higher throw will cause the ball to reflect off your paddle more towards the table. A diagram of what the throw parameter does can be found on the FAQ channel of the official ETT discord:
Here is a step by step guide of how to match up your in-game paddle with your real paddle:

And a fantastic video on this topic that explains in practice! Made by the wonderful Brazilian coach Wlad Pimentel .
If you would like to see what other players set their rubber values to, now it’s possible to view any ETT player’s racket values on https://11clubhouse.com !
For example, here are a few top player’s rubbers:
| PlayerName | Rubbers |
| 11FR_Anto | 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Color Side Bounce: 0.89 Friction: 0.82 Throw: 1.0916 LBD: Off 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Black Side Bounce: 0.89 Friction: 0.82 Throw: 1.1209 LBD: Off |
| 11FR_Natping | 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Color Side Bounce: 1.00 Friction: 0.82 Throw: 1.0688 LBD: On 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Black Side Bounce: 1.00 Friction: 0.82 Throw: 1.0568 LBD: On |
| WLAD | 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Color Side Bounce: 0.89 Friction: 0.8021 Throw: 1.1042 LBD: Off 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Black Side Bounce: 0.89 Friction: 0.8034 Throw: 1.0068 LBD: Off |
| Aiphaton | 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Color Side Bounce: 0.7928 Friction: 0.7856 Throw: 1.0435 LBD: Off 🏓 Paddle Rubber – Black Side Bounce: 0.8194 Friction: 0.7880 Throw: 1.0114 LBD: Off |
And here is my usual racket:
Be aware: other people’s favorite rubbers are only for references. You will very likely need to test and finetune until you find your best rubber values…which can still change overtime 🙂
Enjoy!
