Powder or not

It seems to me, that you are more apt to see a wanna be player overdo it with the talcum powder. He'll be over in the corner with a huge white cloud of powder around him, both hands white as snow. Then he comes to the table and leaves full hand prints all over the table. It looks like someone has changed a baby on the table when he's through. And when he handles the balls, that changes the way they react. I just have to shake my head and laugh. It's inexcusable! :(
 
Have super sweaty hands? Wash then for about 5 minutes with hot water and powder dish washer soap before you go play. It will cause them to dry out tremendously. Done enough times it will kill alot of the sweat glands in your hands.

It seems that in your case, a glove would be the way to go Celtic. I have a friend who has the same problem, and that is how he takes care of it.
 
Wash your Hands!

My hands don't sweat, no powder or glove.

I owned a pool room, what amazed me is people head for the powder. Nothing wrong with a little resistance but I realize some people have a problem. My tables sometimes looked like snow in July. Just like everything people are known to abuse a good thing. Eventually I took out powder, and any cones. Buy a glove or have sense to use power sparingly. It only takes a little, more won't help at all. Besides I might and have, played on the mess you leave.

I haven't heard one person say this, keep your hands clean. If I have to I will go and wash my hands once a set and wipe the shaft off. I have never found anything that replaces the feeling of playing with freshly washed hands.

It doesn't take long to wash your hands in between sets
