Hi Team,
I have been playing TT for years now and one question I have not had an answer to in several forums is whether using the side tape is advised? Every forum only talks about how the side tape protects the blade from minor damages and all. But no one talks of whether the side tape is good for the rubber itself? There a good amount of stickiness in the adhesive of the side tape and it is sure to harden the sponge around the edges of the TT bat in some months. I would like a professional opinion on this. I have bought a new TT bat and it has come with a side tape stuck on. If its going to ruin my bat, then I'd rather remove it now and save my TT bat and rubber. Please help.
Regards,
Satya
