Equipment
Hi Pingskills, I just bought a new penhold bat from Stiga and DHS skyline 2 and hurricane 3 rubbers. I also bought some Joola rubber cleaner and was just wondering how often I should clean the rubbers (after every match? Once a week? Once a month?) Any way the bat over all cost over £100.00 so I don't want to make any mistakes with cleaning the rubber and degrade it. Also my skin is naturally oily and moist, will this affect the rubbers performance because since I am a penhold player my fingers will be touching the rubber all the time.
Sincerely Jack
Hi Jack,
You can clean it with the rubber cleaner once every couple of days. Otherwise just use a damp cloth. Your fingers won't effect the rubber overly. You don't need to worry about it.
Enjoy your new racket.
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.
