The new plastic balls giving off dust

[Edan Harris Regan]

Recently I've noticed that the plastic balls attract a lot of dust on to your rubbers. I just tend to breath on my bat and just wipe it off does that effect the speed of my rubber or anything like that and is that the best way to get rid of it or does anyone else do it differently thank you

You could of course lick it.

However, if you mention that you go to the club to lick things like rubbers and balls, you will never be viewed the same again in social circles.

I prefer to simply wipe it on my shirt, which is never lacking for moisture. After enough time, the residue is no longer an issue.

Make it a habit that you bring along a sponge wet it with water so every 15mins break during training you wipe your rubbers, ball on your dry shirt. No licking hehe no one will play with you if you make it a habit

I guess somebody on here hasn't played with DHS celluloid balls.....

It depends a bit on balls. I like the Nittaku Premium Japan 40+ the best overall but they are dustiest. G40+ is the least dusty, almost dust free. Others are kind of somewhere in between.

I think this is one of the funniest posts of all times. Totally hysterical.

Ironically... I sometimes lick my rubber when it needs an immediate amount of wet to facilitate immediate removal of stubborn matter. Kinda like a cat cleaning.

I definitely lick the bottom part of a new sheet of rubber right before I cut it.... helps the cut a lot.

Lies, you just like getting high on the boost effects. Seriously complaining about dust on plastic balls when the cheap chinese celluloid ones are relying on dust to be spinny. If they go shiney it's time to throw them away or use them for practice only, but don't worry they wont last long anyway before they break. As for better premium balls like Nittaku, Tibhar, Butterfly yes they are nice quality with great surface grip that doesn't rely on that dust. A better ball but it shows in the price.

Idk about you...but i kinda like those dusts.

It shows you which part of the blade youre hitting the ball with.

Typically an accurate gauge to see if your senses are on form that day.

Oh and its not just plastic balls that does that. Its been around for ages.

Didn't you know, Der_Echte has a strict policy:

"Don't get high on your own supply!"

That's why he has the chicken and beer hustle and that is why he is the janitor of a table tennis distributor. What it doesn't explain is all the things he is able to do to the goon squad with that simple little NSA SpyPhone and a Nexy Seamless ball.

LOL. You mean the biggest blabber mouth on TTD.

But seriously, with the SpyPhone, the Nexy Ball and the secret hideout, the goon squad really has no chance at all against the air-guitar playing Der_Meister.

You should have seen some of what he and NextLevel were able to pull off on the goon squad at LYTTC last Saturday. I mean.....words cannot describe the antics. I wish I had been able to stay for the after-party.
