Equipment

Hi coach, i clean my racket with water, this has decreased the grip and the spin of the rubber?

Hi Omer,
Water is best to wipe the bat down.
It may take the initial tackiness off the rubber but the real grip of the rubber will not change.

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.

Omer, you can also occasionally, use a tiny bit of soap with water to clean your bat. You need only a very small amount to clean both sides and you must make sure you get all the soap off. Then dry your bat with a clean cloth or sponge. Use a cloth that doesn't leave dust and lint on the rubber.
