An Old Fashioned Hard Bat tournament requires people
to use the old "hard bats". Those are
the paddles
that have
pimpled rubber with no sponge on the inside. Games are
played to 21 (best 2 out of 3 games).
This tournament is suitable for all levels of players and all ages.
That means everyone from kids to the old-timers
who remember playing with hard bats 50 years ago.
