Xiom Vega Pro H Care

[t.t.s.t.a.r]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a sheet of Vega Pro H as I was looking for a slightly slower rubber that I could get more spin with, however, I do not have much experience with hybrid rubbers.
What are the best ways of retaining the slight tackiness on the rubber and the best way of cleaning any ball dust off the rubber?
I have been recommended to use a small amount of white vinegar diluted with water, or to use spinmax. I do not know what is the best for everyday use, any advice would be welcome.
I do not know with rubbers like these if it really should have the good old breathe on the rubber and wipe on your shorts treatment either just to keep it clean during play or not.

Thanks,
Star

Generally advised for tacky rubbers is to clean it regularly with just water and use a protection sheet to stick on the rubber after use.

I like to clean before I go play, some people clean after a session and then stick on the protective sheet to the rubber, boils down to personal preference.

Well. How do you treat your other tools around at home? Do you clean them after or before use? Do you store a knife with all dirt on it and clean it only before the next use? I doubt.

So please, please clean your rubber after use and before storing it away. Will greatly improve the life time

Yes I definitely agree, but what this post was aiming to find out what the best techniques for cleaning are that won't damage the rubber

Hi, Clean with a sponge using lime-free, potable water. Dry the racket by swinging it so that there is no water left on the surface. You can use protector afterwards. Keeping them air-tight will extend the life of all rubbers.

From my experience: Water only, non-sticky protector sheet.

Sure. But I was reacting to the post right before mine, where it was stated that it is personal preference to clean your rubbers after usage, or directly before usage. And this is not a matter of style or taste.
