Sound of wood

Equipment

Thomas Kunzfeld Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois,

When dropping a ball on a blade with NO rubber on it -

is it true that generally a slower blade gives a deeper sound and a faster blade a higher sound?

So that the sound gives you an indication of the speed/flexibility of the blade?

Hi Thomas,

Yes this is reasonable way of judging the speed on the wood. I know we used to just knock on the wood to listen to the sound it made. The higher pitch, the faster it was.

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!
