As the arms race hots up, and manufacturers and players rush to produce and consume new 40+ rubbers, what impact, if any, do you think the new ball will have on hardbat players? |

Well, it's already more difficult to produce spin with hardbat, and if the polyball has less spin, I can imagine that you'd really need to whiff at the ball to spin it. I can't really be sure until I try the polyball though. |

So far I'm preferring the new ball over the old. My opponents find it harder to generate spin, but I can hit through it all the same. I find reversal the same, and disruption to be perhaps greater. |

Our Boston club has two avid hardbat players (Tim and Don) who LOVE playing matches vs inverted players using the Poly Ball. Their hardbat games do not rely on generating a tom of spin, they rely on countering the ball or setting up a hard drive attack. Of course heavy spin very deep troubles them, but such a shot troubles inverted players too. 2000ish hardbat players at that level can really make life rough for you even if you know what to do. |
