Hi Alois,

What's the difference between traning balls and tournament balls ? Do they basically have the same quality, speed, spin, hardness and bounciness ? Based on my experience, training balls give a different feels compared with tournament balls and I need several adjustment when I'm moving from training balls to tournament balls. So why manufacturers keep producing training balls?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

Usually the training balls are the balls that aren't quite built to specifications.  So instead of throwing them away they sell them at a cheaper price as training balls.

In training it is sometimes better to have a lot of balls to train with and the financial outlay for good quality balls may be too high.

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!
