hi

I am a defensive player and i like to chop a lot. I am about to get a new paddle i want to know whether it would be better for me to get a heavier paddle or a light one. At the moment i am using a  reassembled butterfly Yuki-fl.

Hi Nabeel,

Weight is a matter of preference. I like the lighter weight because I feel like I have more control over what the bat is doing and I can stop it faster to recover for the next shot.

I know some players like the heavier because they feel like they can generate more speed with it. 

Just choose something that feels right for you.  There is no right and wrong answer.

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!
