Speed of equipment against age of player

Christian , Asked 11 years ago

Hello Alois and Jeff,

When someone becomes old, he moves slower. Is that a reason to reduce the speed of equipment in anticipation of reduced abilities ? Or is it better to choose a faster bat so that the successful shots are more effective ? In general older player = slower bat ?

Thank you in advance for your explanations.

Regards.

Hi Christian,

I think a slower bat for a slower player is a good idea.  It is about being able to control the ball when it comes to you.  If you try to hit the ball fast but if the ball comes back you can't cope then you will probably get yourself into trouble.
