Rubber Losing Grip

patrick lyczba Asked 13 years ago

hello my name is patrick and alois you might remember me form GDTTA.

My problem is that when i am playing a match, about halfway through i start to lose all my grip on my rubber. the rubber goes all slippery for some reason. i would say its because im sweating and then it gets wet.... but is there like a cleaner or something that will make my rubber stay spinny for the whole game? i also heard that just using water helps but it really has not worked for me...

i have lost so many games because of this and i really need answers ASAP.

blade: JOOLA KOOL

rubbers: Tenergy 25 (both sides). ive used these for about 2-3months

cleaning method: rubber care sponge (butterfly) with butterfly rushawa rubber cleaner or stiga energy foam.

Hi Patrick,

Certainly do remember you.  Hope things are going well.

You need to try and keep a dry towel and every 6 points dry the rubber thoroughly.  Also keep the sweat from your hair getting on the rubber.  You can do this by using a sweat band or using your shirt to keep the bat dry.

I hope this helps.
