What happens to dead rubber
Equipment
Chandrachur Mukherjee Asked 8 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.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

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
