Can I use this set in the water?

Troubleshooting
Rackets feel slippery during play.
Ensure hands are dry. If the wooden handles feel generally slick, consider adding a light grip tape or wrist strap for added security.
Ball is difficult to see or control.
In bright sunlight, the colored ball should be visible. For very windy conditions, consider using a slightly heavier ball if available, though this may alter the intended gameplay.
Wood handle feels rough.
Gently sand any rough spots with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a light coat of wood polish or natural oil, allowing it to dry completely.
