Blades

Equipment

jack neo Asked 13 years ago

Hey coaches,

What type of blade do you think will suit hard chinese rubbers? Soft all-wood blades? Composites? Im using a rather stiff wood blade now. So what do you think about this?

Hi Jack,

I like a softer wood with the harder rubbers. I think the hard rubber on a hard wood doesn't give you any feeling at all.

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!

Players like Ma Long and Zhang Jike both use a chinese rubber on their arylate-carbon blade. So does it only depend on one's personal preference or is there really no good among that combination?

Yes it is a personal preference. I just find it difficult to feel the ball with a combination like that.
