Rubber Problem

Harry Phillips Asked 14 years ago

Hello, I got a new bat around 3 months ago, I use red to my Forehand. I just recently discovered the bottom centre part of the rubber has a black shadow almost like a smudge, I figured it was caused by playing red to your Forehand and holding your thumb on the centre-bottom part of your bat, is there any solution? As in a way to restore the rubber to its natural colour?

I Use:
FH: Butterfly Sriver L 2.2mm
BH: Butterfly Sriver EL 2.1mm

Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Harry

Hi Harry,

Yes I have seen this as well on some rubbers. I haven't found a solution. I am sure our readers will be able to help.

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 tried cleaning the rubber with warm water, I was thinking of buying some cleaning products to see if that works. It doesn't really effect the rubber, it just makes it look worn and dirty.
