Cleaning the bat with water and garlic

Equipment

Shaheda Banu Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois,

During a recent club tournament, I saw one of the players cleaning of the rubber with water and wiping/rubbing the surface of the bat with garlic cloves. Does it effect the way the rubber behaves such as improving tackiness? Is it legal? will it increase/decrease the life of the rubbers in any way?

Thanks,
Shaheda

Hi Shaheda,

I haven't seen this before. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Pretty sure that the ITTF has no explicit ban against werewolf repellants
