    No more wondering how such and such a rubber plays with a certain blade. It's time to experiment. I've tried a medium pimple and the Juic anti but needed too much adjustment so can't be bothered.

  14. Where on bat do you hit the ball?

    In the old days the coaches all said that we must hit the ball at the #1 position. These days, opinions seem to vary and CNT players seem to specialise in the #2 but some even choose to hit at the #3. So which are you, and where on the bat do you advise players to strike the ball?
