Keeping a Rubber after Purchase

Dear PingSkills,

After we purchase a rubber in a package, is it ok to keep it for a few months to a year before gluing to the blade? Will the quality of the rubber decrease after keeping it for so long? Thanks.

Regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

If you store the rubber in a cool dark place and still in its packet it will last well over a year.

I have had rubber for several years stored in these conditions, that are still in perfect condition.
