Fast Blade vs Slow Blade
Equipment
Collin Hill Asked 12 years ago
Hey Alois & Jeff,
I was wondering what makes a fast blade a fast blade (is it the hard/softness of the wood?) and how can I tell if my current blade is fast or slow (or somewhere in the middle)
Thanks guys :)

Hi Collin,
I don't really know the technical details behind what makes a bat fast. For wooden blades, the harder the wood, the faster the blade. Here's an interesting article on wood.
The easiest way to tell is to play with the bat especially if it has the same rubbers you are used to on it.

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!
