Most Bounce

Equipment

I'm looking for a blade-rubber combo that has the most bounce.  Do you know what I mean?  My friends don't.  I want a blade-rubber combo that, when you drop a ball from a set heght, it bounces higher than on any other blade-rubber combo.  

  I tried a fast combo(Yasaki Carbon Max 3d with Palio Macro Era rubber) but it hits dead-  less bounce than my $21 silver Dragon.  

  What do I look for?  Control?  stiffness?  Hardness?  Why is there no rating for bounce?

  What would you recommend?

  Thank you.

Hi Robert,

The bounce will be determined by speed.

Look for a bat with the greatest speed if bounce is what you are looking for.

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 have since learned that a tacky rubber will slow the ball.  As opposed to scrapping a tacky rubber, it is recommended to rub Windex on the rubber  to help dissolve the laminate or veneer.
