Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your JOOLA Falcon racket.

• Cleaning the Rubber: After each use, gently wipe the rubber surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and sweat. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized table tennis rubber cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Protecting the Rubber: When not playing, always place the racket back into its padded nylon case. This protects the rubber from oxidation, dust, and physical damage, preserving its tackiness and lifespan.
• Handle Care: Keep the handle dry and clean. Avoid exposing the wooden handle to excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the racket and case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Most issues with a table tennis racket relate to wear and tear or improper care. Here are some common points:

• Reduced Spin/Grip: If the rubber surface feels less tacky or provides less spin, it may be dirty or worn out. Clean the rubber thoroughly. If the issue persists, the rubber may need replacement over time due to natural wear.
• Vibration: While the Control System Technology minimizes vibration, excessive vibration might indicate a loose handle or blade damage. Inspect the racket for any cracks or loose parts.
• Damage to Case: If the nylon case is torn or damaged, it may no longer provide adequate protection. Consider replacing the case to ensure your racket remains protected.
