How to protect your handle

[Konrad Bak]

Hey, I love looking on my handle after every point.
Why all brands makes something like grip tape in every colour of rainbow when colorless tape will be better option for resellers aka EJ's or someone who loves their equipment stays clean
What type of grip tape do you use?
What type of colorless grip tape you can recommend?
What type of material will be good for handle?

I saw something like tape for swimming pool but I think these type of materials will increase sweat.
I saw a lot of people use powder for hands...
I know its not very serious to make question like this but I wanna buy Quadri Aruna OFF blade and I don't want to see green handle looks like ish

You see, I buy the same blade in 3, every time. 1 for my own use, 2 for sharing, and 3 for keepsake. Problem solved.

... if you have a moneysh*tting donkey in your backyard or own a goose that can lay golden eggs, otherwise maybe not an opportunity for many.

I remember that someone here wrote that Timo Boll also had that problem and got himself some especially made caps for the handle in the same design, but I'm somehow unable to find that post yet.

There was a post somewhere, I think at MyTT where someone said that they cleaned their handle with toothbrush and tooth paste and it made the thing look like new.

I don't do that. Ever.

I used eraser and nah

Its not about sweat. The handle will be dirty after 20 hours. We buy blades because It looks good. So I choose Aruna blade and I am big fan of Joola products too.
My ex Viscaria was beautiful first day. 2 months later...

I seal my handles so they won't absorb moisture or sweat which can alter the weight and balance.

My hands don't even sweat, they get dryer and dryer becoming a sandpaper. Sometimes I have to damp my hands with sweat because otherwise i feel like my blade is going to twiddle itself.

TBH tho as long as the handle is not damaged and the metal parts are not scratched, I don't pay too much attention to them. They are sports equipments, they are meant to be used rigorously and will be damaged eventually. Mind you my blades are Innerforce ZLC and Mizutani ZLC which are absolutely beautiful brand new

I seal my blades’ heads and handles. And I use wrist band to avoid/lessened the amount of sweat running down to hand and handle.
