Hi Cp,

YOu could try wiping it over with some water.  It doesn't take long to wear in though.  Just a bit of dust from the ball will start to get rid of that tackiness.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
