net, a table and perhaps, some cleaning accessories for a
successful game. There are different types of each due to
many manufacturers to suit the skill and preference of the
players. Finding the one that is best for you could help you
with your game and allow you to become better.
Cleaning Products
Cleaning the equipment surrounding table tennis is relatively
simple and will help keep them in a better condition for
a longer usage time. There is a variety of cleaning products,
instruments and tips used to keep everything clean and properly
cared for.
Balls should be kept clean and stored somewhere cool and
dry when they are not being used.
Rackets, depending on their unique qualities, will require
different products. When a certain spray is applied to inverted
rubbers, it can be easily cleaned of grease and dirt with
a sponge that will just wipe it off. Pimpled rubbers have
their own scrub brush to keep them clean. Rubber adhesives
are used to glue the rubbers back onto a blade. The fresher
the glue is, the more flexible and elastic the rubber will
be. There is also edging tape that can be used to wrap the
edges of the paddle to protect it from damage and dents
and to keep the rubber from detaching from the blade. After
using the paddle, wrap it up with a plastic bag and place
it in a protective container.
The table can be cleaned with a sponge dampened with water
to wipe off the dust and dirt. Edge tape can protect the
table edges from dents and other unfortunate damages. Try
to avoid placing objects on the table and keep it inside
because excessive moisture outdoors could warp the table
and then the surface will never be flat again.
The net can be kept in shape if it is stored when not
in use or kept away from areas where there is a lot of movement.
