Ball in the mouth
Equipment
Thomas Kunzfeld Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
today I´ve watched the European Champions League live here in Duesseldorf. When Dimitrij Ovtcharov was playing and they got a new ball, he actually put the ball into his mouth and then wiped it dry with his towel. I had never seen this before and wonder why he does it. Probably to get rid of the powder around the ball? Would that make a difference?
I fantasize about a new rule in the future - like they banned speed glueing for health reasons maybe they will ban putting balls into your mouth for the same reason ;-)

Hi Thomas,
Yes they sometimes do this to get the dust from the manufacturing off the ball. Not something that I would recommend.

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!

If anyone tries this and accidentally swallows the ball...
this shouldn't be done!
