Equipment
Hello Alois and Jeff,
When someone becomes old, he moves slower. Is that a reason to reduce the speed of equipment in anticipation of reduced abilities ? Or is it better to choose a faster bat so that the successful shots are more effective ? In general older player = slower bat ?
Thank you in advance for your explanations.
Regards.

Hi Christian,
I think a slower bat for a slower player is a good idea. It is about being able to control the ball when it comes to you. If you try to hit the ball fast but if the ball comes back you can't cope then you will probably get yourself into trouble.
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!

Thank you. Does it mean that the placement have to replace the speed ? And is it possible ?
Yes, I think placement and also variation of spin and speed.
