How much should I clean my bat

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.
