When do I need to change my bat

John Beech Asked 7 years ago

At present I use a Pingskills Rook which I like and feel is suitable for my level of play. I play about 2 to 3 hours a week.

Does the rubber deteriorate with either age or prolonged use?

What signs of wear should I look for, apart from obvious accidental scuffs and marks?

How often do you change your bat?

Hi John,

The Rook should last around a year of your development.  Check to see if the rubber is worn by rubbing your finger across the surface.  If it is slippery then it is time to change the rubber and or whole bat.

It looks like you have had yours for nearly 2 years so it is probably time to change it.
