What happens to dead rubber
Equipment
Chandrachur Mukherjee Asked 7 years ago
What happens when a rubber is dead? Why does it lose all its grip? Does it get oxidised with time?

Hi Chandrachur,
I am not sure of the chemical change in the rubber. Someone may be able to help here.

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!

The sponge gets flattened and cannot provide bounce.
The rubber loses tackiness because of exposure to air and eventual smoothening of the grip
And the pimples inside may break or burst resulting in little to no catapulting effect
