Hi Kyle,

You can replace the rubber.  Be really careful when taking off the old rubber, especially if it has been put on in a factory.

Start slowly initially in one corner of the bat and just see how hard the glue is.  Then slowly work around the bat pulling a little up at a time.  I have found that acetone helps to dissolve the glue if it is really well stuck.
