Bat cleaning
Equipment
Dennis Rutter Asked 1 year ago
How often should I clean my bat rubber, and what should I use? Up to now I use a propriety bat-cleaning foam (by Joola) and use it maybe every few weeks.

Hi Dennis,
How often?
-
Ideally after every session — a quick wipe is enough.
Why clean it regularly?
-
Removes dust, ball residue, and sweat oils that reduce spin.
-
Keeps the surface grippy, especially important for tacky or soft rubbers.
What to use?
-
For everyday cleaning: just water and a clean damp sponge (ideally a soft one made for rubbers). Wipe gently and let it air dry.
-
Avoid harsh soaps or alcohol, which can dry out or damage the surface.
Extra tip: After cleaning, use a rubber protector film to keep dust off and maintain tackiness longer.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
