After playing a few games with some friends, I've noticed white marks on my rubber. What's up with that?

Hi Charlie,

This could be the dust from the ball. When the ball is new it will have some residue on the outside of the ball, like a white dust.  Just wash the ball if it is a problem.  You also need to make sure that you keep the rubber free form this dust as it will effect the performance of the rubber.The rubber will not grip the ball properly.  Just wipe the rubbe rwith a damp cloth.

Some suggested that I dip the ball in white vinegar..... But does it work?

I have never tried white vinegar. I just use water to get the residue off the ball. Maybe others will have tried vinegar and can comment.
