The control of the ball is effected when the ball gets in contact with the bat. The elastic properties of a blade make you feel this contact. It depends on the player what type of elasticity he or she likes best. We distinguish five elasticity categories. If you take these categories into consideration you surely will find the right blade:
- ELASTIC
You can exactly feel the contact between ball and blade, you can often see it vibrate. A good example is the defensive blade DONIC DEFPLAY SENSO with good control.
- CONTROL - ELASTIC
Balanced, distinct contact between ball and blade without disturbing vibrations. Perfect control for all allround strategies and - when you combine these blades with a spin-elastic rubber - for offensive strategies. Example:
DONIC APPELGREN ALLPLAY SENSO.
- SPEED - ELASTIC
You still realise clearly the contact between this elastic blade and the ball, but the blade is obviously stiffer and faster than a control-elastic blade. Example:
DONIC WALDNER SENSO.
- NEARLY STIFF
The vibrations have been reduced to a minimum. You still have a good ball contact. These blades are usually very fast. Example:
DONIC PERSSON POWERPLAY SENSO.
- STIFF
Predominant speed, not always easy to control. An example for a good solution to this problem is the:
DONIC PERSSON POWERSPEED.
