Hi, i want to buy a pair of Hardbats to play at my club with one of my coaches. One of my coach boast that she is really good. Proof is in the pudding....lol. Hoping to get something that is good quality and wont break the bank. Thanks for the replies.

emihet is too nice a dude to suggest what he really thinks about the last one... but what the heck, I am friends with all three of you... and you all know my suggestion is to... drink more cappuccino.

I'm always up for cappuccino or espresso :) - I listed the bargain basement option simply because it really depends on the level of interest and how much spare cash you are willing to invest into hardbat adventure. We are looking at ~100$ for Valor, ~40-50$ for colestt and may be 10$ for big box store (crap, but still plays more like hardbat). And that's just for one. One day I'll treat myself to a Valor setup, had a hit once with the one I borrowed from TK, resident hardbat expert. Very nice...

Get them from Don Varian, he purchased the Hock compant all the Hock stock from Bernard so you can get Hock blades from him. Contact at [email protected] or (330)304-2946. Better than the toxic blades and in my option better than the valor blades that attempt to imitate them and also priced better.

In my experience the Gambler Custom Zebra or Rosewood Classic blade @ under $30 makes a great hardbat paddle, it’s at zeropong
