Residual glue on rubber

Hello,

Firstly I wanna say that your videos helped me a lot in improving my tt skills, thanks a ton for that!

Now, I've recently purchased a pre-made racquet and and it had two plastic protective films on both the rubbers as usual. When I removed it, i saw that it left a fair amount of glue residue on the rubbers. It has become very difficult to remove. I've tried warm water and sponge but it's not working. The rubber is very tacky but for that residue, the ball is just slipping away. What should I do?

Hi Arjun,

Glad that you are liking the site.

You can try an alcohol swab or some mineral turpentine to remove the residue.

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!

Won't it damage the rubber?
