How to prevent racket from being dead?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

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.
