Hey coach, is there a shelf life of a rubber, like an expiry date or something?

I recently bought a Joola Phoenix rubber online that was manufactured one year ago. Will it work fine?

Hi Nilabhra,

If the rubber is still in its packet it should be fine.

The main things that effect the rubber are air, dirt and heat.  As long as the sealed packet has been kept indoors out of the heat they should be good.  They will actually last many years in this condition.

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!
