What makes a blade fast?
Equipment
B G Asked 13 years ago
I am curious what aspects of a blade make it fast.
If I had to guess I would think the ply, materials, stiffness, and size of the face had much to do with it.
Also, in what ways does the total weight of rubber and blade affect racket performance?

Hi,
I am not sure here but I would say the type of wood is a big factor as well as the number of plies. Softer woods would be slower and hard woods would be faster. I am not sure about the size f the face though. Interested to hear peoples thoughts.
The weight is a preference. I like lighter blades because I feel I can be more creative with it and change direction more easily. Others like the heavier bats though because they feel like once they get it moving it will be able to generate more power.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
