Slow bat vs fast bat dilemna

Arnaud N Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois,

I noticed a strange phenomenon in my game.  I have 2 bats: one of them is a bit slower (Mark V 1.8mm), and the other one is a bit faster (Pryde 2.2mm).

Although I seem to be more consistent and have better strokes during pratice sessions with the slower bat, I get much better results in game situation with the faster bat (but lack of consistency during training with that one). I would have expected to get the better results in competition using the bat I perform best with during training, but the opposite seems to happen.

Is this normal? Should I keep switching between the 2 bats: using the slower bat for training and the faster bat for competition?
