how does the blade effects the spin and speed

[bhupen kumar]

Hi Respected members,
can someone pls point me some videos ( youtube or other) or read which explains how does the blade effects the spin and speed.
to me it feels, the rubber plays most of the role (in speed and spin)....

Thanks

Spin is effected by how long the ball stays on the blade. This is mostly the flex and the softness that influence this.
More flex = more spin, softer = more spin.

Speed is also effected by the flex and softness/hardness.
less flex = more speed, harder = more speed.

This is due to the fact that when flexing or sinking in to the blade, it steals energy from the ball.

So a fast blade is usually harder to spin with than a slower...

Cheers

I remember JRSDALLAS from my time as a mod on DTTW. He knew his stuff and wrote well about it
