Climate Change
Equipment
JoeMarie Buela Asked 12 years ago
Hi Pingskill Coaches,
I am Joe Marie, from the Philippines. I am currently playing in an open room.
One time I play there, then suddenly it rain. My bat suddenly not performing very well. I use short pips on my forehand and long pips on my backhand. It usually happens when raining and suddenly cold climate will approach..
By the way, what can I use in cleaning my pips? Is it advisable to use water?
Thanks

Hi JoeMarie,
To clean short pimples you can use a bit of water but they don't really need a lot of cleaning.
I have also seen players using chalk on their short pimples.
If the weather gets humid, the rubber will often lose it's grip because a thin layer of moisture forms on the surface. In this situation you need to keep your rubber dry. Every few points wipe your rubber dry either with a towel or with a dry part of your shirt.

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!

I don't really know. It is just something that I saw a while ago. If anyone else knows any more on this subject that would be good to share.
