Hi Pingskills team
ive been having this problem for a while now. During gameplay i sweat a lot which is causing me problems because it affects my rubber
Every time i wipe my rubber it becomes less and less grippy. What can i do to prevent it from going to the rubber?
How can i remove the moisture from the rubber?
Thx pingskills team
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

Hi Amekun,
You should always have a towel with you. You should have one for yourself and one for your bat if you sweat a lot.
After every 6 points you are allowed to use your towel. If you are sweating a lot, you can ask the umpire to use the towel more often, especially if it is effecting the bat or the ball.
Another thing that you can do is before a match, run your hands under cold water. This wil keep them cool for a little while at least.

some racquets have cork handles which they claim can help absorb some sweat. I tend to sweat like crazy too. In addition to Alois' suggestions, I also wipe my hand on the table next to the net basically after every point.

if you don't have towel rub your hand to the table
