How to prevent racket from being dead?
Hi Vidit,
When you have a new racket make sure you keep it away from heat. The heat will soon destroy the rubber. Also after you play just wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove the dust from the surface. The dust will also damage the rubber.
If you do these two things you will keep your bat in good condition.
If after cleaning the bat, you rub your finger across the surface and it feels smooth, it probably means the rubber is dead and in need of replacing. Once a rubber is dead there is not much you can do about it.
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!
