Table Accessories

There is a wide variety of accessories that are used in tournaments.

• Handle Grips - very common, either of the latex condom or strappy raquet-handle variety (see links below).
• Gloves - golf gloves frequently worn to increase grip, often in conjunction with handle grips.
• Lube - silicone based lubricants for bars - those suitable for mountain bikes are ideal (not WD40 or other oil based lubricants as they can damage plastic parts).
• Talcum Powder - light dusting over sandblasted glass surfaces can be used to increase grippiness.
• Towel - sometimes used by the sweaty to keep brow and hands dry.
• Beer - required by some, avoided by others. Spilling classed as a capital offence.
