Hi Alois/Jeff,

what is the effect of bat weight?. I find some bats very light and others are relatively heavy.

Thanks.

Hossam.

Hi Hossam,

Different players prefer different weights of bat.

The heavier bats once you start to swing through will travel faster but they are harder to get them moving fast to start with.

The more important thing is the type of wood and the speed of the racket itself.

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!

I don't think they make that much difference.

As far as weight it is a matter of getting that feels right in your hand.
