Notes:-
this sponge layer is very sticky to the blade because i was having the same bat before and tried to remove it. the bat was completely damage becase it tried to remove it very hard.

Hi Ahmed,
I use a solvent like Mineral turpentine or you can use rubbing alcohol to soften the sponge on the blade.
If it is really stubborn you can use sandpaper / gritpaper but be gentle to make sure you don't damage the wood.

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.

I heard heating the glue up with hair dryer might work.
Yes that can also be a good way.

Remove the rubber from the sponge and use the pimpled side like a sandpaper,this always works best for me,i completely sanded a premade blade and no harm done,good luck
