Broken Bat
Equipment
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 11 years ago
I have been playing the TSP Balsa 4.0 for 3 Mönchs now and I'm very impressed of it. I have been hitting the table lots, and When I did the "breaking test" (place the bat on the table with the handle over it and press down...) I couldn't find any cracks or something like that. But now I have the concern the blade could be broken inside. This blade is heavy pressed balsa wood with two sheets of fiber glass in it, so I don't know if it can really "broke". Is it possible? Do you think my blade is broken and how could I find it out? Thanks and have a nice weekend you guys, Lukas.

Hi Lukas,
If the blades isn't wobbling when you press it is probably OK. You will often feel the difference when hitting the ball if the blade is broken.

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!

It wobbles a bit, but just like every blade. When I push the handle down, it feels complitety normal.
Hi Lukas,
If it is only wobbling a little then it should be OK. The Speed glue won't effect it that much.

It is not sticky because you put lots of heavy on the bat or it will not be sticky any more becuase you do not put enougth.
