How do I make my inverted rubber antispin

[yamagata]

Hi community, I want to test playing with antispin and already have a Stiga premade with rubbers I don't care that much for anyway and would like to get your ideas on how to convert the black side into an antispin rubber. Leave it in the sun? Rub it with alcohol? Is it possible?

I am fully aware of that it will not compare to a factory made anti spin, but enough to give me an idea how it is to play with it.

Get a can of non-stick cooking spray and voila!

I've heard of guys sticking them in microwave

You could try to make it oxidize. Wet and heat it with a hair dryer when dry repeat number of times 😇

Or cover it with kerosene light it up and put it out repeat… 🤣🤣🤣

Seriously , it’s easier just to get such rubber…

How about forgetting to remove the clear plastic film protector. ??

Never clean the rubber. It will be anti soon

Spray varnish on it
Leave it on the dashboard of a car on a sunny day
Use baking paper and apply an iron

So many options to ruin a rubber, but leaving premades by the window exposed to lots of sun is the easiest way to do it accidentally

premade bats are already antispin sometimes

Unfortunately this will destroy wood as well…

Put baby poder on it

 

[allencorn]

Rip it off and play only with wood.

So basically the answer is the same as every other topic: you have to put endless hours of training in

UV-radiation prolonged exposure on a rubber sheet should turn a grippy rubber material into non-grippy.

Thermo-oxidative degradation of vulcanized SBR: A comparison between ultraviolet (UV) and microwave as recovery techniques - Journal of Polymer Research

This study reports a comparison of thermal-oxidative vulcanized SBR degradation caused by Ultraviolet (UV) or Microwave (MW) irradiations. The surface modifications of the rubber samples were explored by instrumental techniques. The cross-linking degree of the rubber was determined via leaching...
