Fast Blade vs Slow Blade

Equipment

Collin Hill Asked 13 years ago

Hey Alois & Jeff,

I was wondering what makes a fast blade a fast blade (is it the hard/softness of the wood?) and how can I tell if my current blade is fast or slow (or somewhere in the middle)

Thanks guys :)

Hi Collin,

I don't really know the technical details behind what makes a bat fast. For wooden blades, the harder the wood, the faster the blade. Here's an interesting article on wood.

The easiest way to tell is to play with the bat especially if it has the same rubbers you are used to on it.
