Sticker on the paddle
Equipment
Daniel Briskman Asked 8 years ago
Now, this may seem like a stupid question, but I just want to make sure. I got a Killerspin Jet 400 racket recently and after playing with it about one or two times, the sticker that goes around the rim of the bat started peeling off. I really want to peel it completely off, but I don't know it it is protecting the blade or anything. Can I peel it off?

Hi Daniel,
The sidetone can protect the edge of your bat if you knock it on the table. However if it is starting to peel off it will get annoying and probably better to take it off completely.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
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.

You can also consider replacing it

It's about €4 for 5m and about €14 for 50m, which would be enough for a loooooong time.
They come in different widths though (from 9 to 12mm), so take one that matches your blade's thickness (I perosnnaly like it to cover also the sponge of both rubbers, but not the rubbers themselves).
