Quoted from kwiKimart:How do you take off the rubber around the flipper and what do you use to clean it?
Back to the question...it may not make too big of a deal but when I remove and install the bat rubber I always start with the larger (wider) end. What I mean by that is when you are putting pressure on the bat it would seem to be a good idea to put the most pressure on the secured side and not at the end of the bat where the pressure could be exponentially multiplied. Like I said it may not make that much of a difference but it makes sense so I do it. And for the cleaning part, I either use novus 1, which works well, or just replace them if they are too bad.
