I play Donic Schildkröt Energy QRC for an half year an when i touch the surface with my fingernail it feels that it doesn't have a Lot of friction. But when I play it is OK. So is my rubber death? And when not- when is it about to die?

Hi Lukas,

The main thing is that if you rub your finger across the rubber it will feel like it is gripping your finger.  If it feels smooth then it is probably dying.

Also can you see if you can spin the ball with the rubber.

Yes it feels a Bit smooth but I can spin the ball wit it. That's ridiculous.

If it is smooth then it probably needs changing.  You can probably get a lot more spin than you are getting with a rubber that has better grip.

But I think it's okay for a few months by now.
