As far as I know, there is only one manufacturer in the US who makes hardbat. The brand is called Valore. I've had a chance to hit with one or two of those blades.

Have you guys used any hard bat before?

I haven't...

I like to try hard bat when I am old and I suspect I will like it because ther rally is long. I have watch clips of some of the matches in the US and England and it does look fun with less of the speed and spin of the regular game. Good workout for old guys. e.g. Reissman.

Reissman is still a legend. He had his own line of blades - something called The Money Player. I don't think they make those blades anymore.

Here is a video of Reissman. He is playing against a player who uses Valore paddle.
