Cleaning your bat
Equipment
Anthony Pham Asked 15 years ago
hi,
I am using your methods of a damp cloths or sponge and cleaning my bat, but there is one problem, if the bat is wet do you use something to dry or leave it there? Would your sponge get ruined?
thanks for the help

Hi Anthony,
Don't leave your rubbers for a long period of time with water on them. When cleaning your bat, use a sponge that is just damp and the water should dry off pretty much straight away. You can always wipe any excess off either on your shorts or with a dry cloth. I normally just use my hand to wipe the rubber clean. A lot of people worry about the grease on your hands causing the rubber to deteriorate but I have never found this to cause any problems. All of the top players clean their rubbers this way during a match.

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!

As Jeff mentioned, if you don't leave the water on the rubber for too long then you won't get those marks.
