Hi Alois and Jeff, Good Day to both of you, I always get caught up when choosing new rubbers, because they have different levels, like soft, medium and hard... what differences do they have and for what use are they made for? like is a soft rubber better than a hard rubber for defending or attacking? or vise versa? thanks :)

Hi Samuel,

The hardness of the rubber gives you a different feel.  There are both hard and soft rubbers that can be used for attacking and others for defending.

With the harder rubbers you can have your bat over the ball more and grip the ball.

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!
