Health of rubber with old balls

Hihi Pingskills, my friend gave me a stash of 1971 balls which are very old and have brown spots (probably mould) growing on it. Will it damage the rubber faster?

Hi Benzene,

I don't think the ball will damage the rubber but they are probably the smaller 38mm ball which is different to the 40mm which is commonly used now.

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!
