Re-surface pre-made bat
Equipment
Paul McVay Asked 11 years ago
Can you re-surface a stiga pre-made bat? Or will trying to tear off the old rubber ruin the blade?

Hi Paul,
It usually works pretty well. Some of the Stiga premade bats have reasonable blades. Even if the rubber doesn't come off cleanly, you can then use some solvent to remove the rest of the sponge without damaging the blade.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

What do u mean by resurface i also hv a premade bat adidas afg rookie shud i re surface it
Just changing the rubber on it. You could re-rubber it if the current rubber has lost its grip.
Hi Atharva,
You can change the rubber of a pre made bat but it is harder than a custom bat as the rubber is usually stuck on to the blade very strongly. Often the rubber will break apart and you'll need some solvent to remove the remains from the blade.
With a custom made bat, it gets stuck on with table tennis glue and hence it is much easier to replace the rubber.
