What defines a rubber's control rating? Is it density/hardness?

Hi Christopher,

The control of the rubber comes from both the sponge and the top sheet of rubber.

It will depends on the speed that the ball comes out of the rubber to a great extent.  It is difficult to get a rubber with more speed and more control.

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!
