Hardbat refers to table tennis played with a rigid wooden paddle that has only a thin layer of short-pitched rubber and no sponge, unlike the spin-heavy sponge paddles used in modern competitive play. Hardbat produces less spin and speed, emphasizing longer rallies, placement, and touch, and it retains a devoted following of players nostalgic for the pre-1950s style of the game.
