Identify the qualities of a unknown/unmarked blade
Equipment
Frank Westdahl Asked 7 years ago
Hi!
Is there some way to identify the qualities of a unknown/unmarked blade without rubber? I.E. can one in some way judge if it's of high or low quality and - even more interesting - judge if its a relatively fast or slow bat?
My own - and only idea aside - is to bounce a ball on it and compare with another known bat, also without rubber, and conclude that a higher bounce equals a faster bat.

Hi Frank,
The bounce test is the best way. You can knock on it and hear the sounds. The higher sharper sound will mean a faster blade as it will be harder.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.
