Repairing an old paddle

Equipment

I was gifted an old racket a while back and now the rubber is peeling away from the blade.  What's the best way to fix this?

Hi Frank,

The best thing is to move the rubber completely, peeling it back slowly.  Then reapply the rubber suing an approved table tennis water based glue.

If you try to put a little glue under the area that is coming up it may not leave a flat surface.

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!
