Hi PingSkills!

How often should I clean my old bat and my new bat? The old bat is about 6 months old and the new bat is arriving. Should I clean the new one more often? Or will the water affect the quality of the rubber? I have a friend who uses butterfly equpment, and he said that any contact with water, and his bat reduces the spin it imparts on the ball.

Thanks!

Hi,

You should just wipe the dust when it builds up.  A damp cloth will not effect the performance or quality of the rubber.

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!
