Cleaning table tennis bat

Maverick Teo Asked 16 years ago

I have been using my table tennis bat for 4 years, and it has gotten mouldy and really dusty.Even after watching your video on how to clean the bat, I can't keep mine clean.So should I get a new one?

Hi Maverick,

If you can't get any grip on your bat after cleaning it is probably time to get a new one.

The rubber is probably dead either from use or from heat or dirt.  After cleaning rub your finger over the surface.  If it doesn't grip your finger at all it is officially gone.

Sounds like time to upgrade.
