The argument about whether table tennis was better in the hardbat era or modern times is one that never goes away. So when forum member dadsky posted some scathing claims made by an acquaintance about the superiority of hardbat in the About.com table tennis forum, he was guaranteed a lively debate! Fellow forum member Scott Gordon (a sponge and hardbat player) replied with a very insightful take on the hardbat vs sponge debate, which places things in perspective quite nicely. Thanks Scott!
