Equipment
Hey,
When I started training 3 months ago I got my first custom bat.
They're quite fast in my opinion-took me a little while to get used to them.
I'm just wondering if faster rubbers are not suitable for beginners?
Thanks.
Hi Johnny,
It is much better to start with a slower rubber. This will help you to control the ball and focus on the strokes. When you start with fast rubbers the ball will come off your bat too fast and you will find yourself compromising your stroke.
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!

Ok. Will try switching to a slower bat. Thanks.
