Many of my friends in town use an OX style(long pips) paddle. I lack experience while facing players using sponge with their long pimpled rubbers. So i wanted to know whether ox is better or sponge?

Hi Harry,

OX gives them more effect on the ball.  The reversal of the spin will be stronger than with sponge.

It also is more difficult for the player using OX to control the ball so could lead to them making more errors.

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!
