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.
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.
