I feel there are great variations among players concerning their arm speed. Player A has a fast stroke, good body mechanics and uses a medium speed blade with medium fast rubbers. Player B has slower arm speed, good body mechanics and uses a fast blade and rubbers. So who produces greatest ball speed? Another mystery of the universe. I have hit fast with a 3-ply Hock, also hit fast with OFF+ carbon blade close/mid and I can honestly say for the first 15 feet of ball travel I can't tell the difference. The feel at ball contact is very different of course between the two blades but the speed seems the same when smashing. I call this the "Frogger Effect".![LOL]( "LOL")
