I have been using my table tennis bat for 4 years, and it has gotten mouldy and really dusty.Even after watching your video on how to clean the bat, I can't keep mine clean.So should I get a new one?

Hi Maverick,

If you can't get any grip on your bat after cleaning it is probably time to get a new one.

The rubber is probably dead either from use or from heat or dirt.  After cleaning rub your finger over the surface.  If it doesn't grip your finger at all it is officially gone.

Sounds like time to upgrade.

How to Choose the Right Table Tennis Bat for You

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.
