Dead rubber

Is there anything you can do with dead rubber?

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately not.
The only thing is to wipe it well with some water or a very weak detergent solution and see if that helps. If not, it is time to change the rubber.

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!

Greetings! Is it allowed for a player to use a rubber that is partially without any grip at all, i.e. too old, but works as antispin from time to time depending on the chance / where it hits the ball... :)
Hi Stanislav,
What I can see in the rules is this:
2.4.7 The racket covering shall be used without any physical, chemical or other treatment.
2.4.7.1 Slight deviations from continuity of surface or uniformity of colour due to accidental damage or wear may be allowed provided that they do not significantly change the characteristics of the surface.
