Cleaning the bat with water and garlic
Equipment
Shaheda Banu Asked 8 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?

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
