I'm slightly curious if there are members in TTD who have any sort of tricks that they do to remove humidity from their rubber.
Melbourne is an annoying place as humidity can vary from day to day. One day the humidity is at the normal range at 40-50% and you can feel ball friction. Another day the humidity would be at 80-90% and the ball would just slip, you would have to loop the ball at a more open angle.
Not sure if it's a placebo effect or what but I can tell the difference easily.
It doesn't help as well that all the rubbers I use are generally super high gripping top sheet that's sensitive to humidity change (Tenergy / Fastarc)
So i thought would it help if I blow some warm air using hair dryer from a distance to remove some of these humidity? Of course I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to know what you guys think
