That was spit? :O
But it works better if it's a spit. Of a virgin. Equal parts with dragon egg yolk! There's the Chinese National Team Rubber secret for you.
Me tooI sometimes clean my rubber by means of broad adhesive tape. Just push it on and rip off, it takes all the dust. My own invention.
No, I noticed the sound is loud because of the recording but really the rubbing is very light and I've been doing this with this rubber for months and it is always clean and tacky as day 1. The water prevents harmful friction, which should be obvious because if there was any friction my hand would have melted already. And you remove the water at the end with the side of your hand.
This is how to best clean it. Try and see.
wow
from what I saw, you are damaging your top sheet more than cleaning it....
I had the same thought when I saw the video. At that point, I decided not to say anything.
Since I have not used tacky rubbers in years--except to occasionally try someone's setup--I wasn't going to say anything. But there are ways to clean that are much gentler to the topsheet. It could even be a similar concept of water and hand.
But, I think, if someone used that kind of touch in short game, they would be in the same kind of trouble. The skill of developing soft hands is valuable in TT.
I've washed many times the rubber and it keeps its tackiness, so I don't believe about people who says it will damage, on the contrary it becomes more tacky!Told you, it sounds very sqeaky because a cellphone microphone picks up and amps up only high frequencies. If there really was any friction then my hand would have melted off.
If you play with tacky rubbers (or any rubbers really) you know that doing what I did is IMPOSSIBLE if there is any friction.
Again, if logic doesn't guide you to this conclusion then try it and see.
No thanks
I've been cleaning my rubbers the same way for 20+ years
