Corns on hand

Hi Alois

Have you faced this problem too ? Over the course of regular practice and training i seem to have developed corns and hardened skin at 3 places- where the skin of my thumb meet the base of the forehand rubber on its edge; just below my little finger and ring finger on my palm(due to holding the handle of the blade tightly.

Is this a common occurrence ? Are there ways around it ? Or is it merely an occupational tell tale one has to learn to live with ?

Cheers !

Hi Azhar,

It is just something that happens due to the regular rubbing of the bat on the skin.  It is like a scar of honour for Table Tennis players :)
