Hardbat table tennis is the classical table tennis playing style that existed prior to the advent of sponge rubber in the 1950s. The main difference between hardbat and modern table tennis lies in the racket used, which greatly affects the dynamics and strategy of the game. Hardbat rackets use short outward "pips" with no sponge, resulting in decreased speeds and reduced spin compared to rackets using sponge rubber. This results in slower shots, and a more strategic game rather than the fast-paced, heavy topspin attacking style that dominates regular table tennis.

  • Hardbat table tennis is the classical table tennis playing style that existed prior to the advent of sponge rubber in the 1950s. The main difference between hardbat and modern table tennis lies in the racket used, which greatly affects the dynamics and strategy of the game. Hardbat rackets use short outward "pips" with no sponge, resulting in decreased speeds and reduced spin compared to rackets using sponge rubber. This results in slower shots, and a more strategic game rather than the fast-paced, heavy topspin attacking style that dominates regular table tennis. There has recently been a resurgence of hardbat play, with national championships contested yearly in the United States. A "World Championship of Ping Pong", a table tennis tournament using standardised hardbats, was promoted by at Alexandra Palace in January 2013. It was won by Maxim Shmyrev. The American Marty Reisman became the oldest person ever to win an open national competition in a racquet sport when he won the 1997 United States National Hardbat championship at age 67. (en)
  • Le hardbat est une discipline qui s'apparente au tennis de table des années 1930 à 1940, avant l'avènement des revêtements avec mousse. Cela permet de minimiser les effets dus à ce type de caoutchoucs et tend à réduire les différences entre les joueurs. Aux États-Unis, il existe même un titre de champion des États-Unis qui est disputé lors des Championnats États-Unis de Tennis de Table. L'un des joueurs historiques les plus populaires est Marty Reisman, ancien Champion des États-Unis par équipes en 1948, 2 fois médaille de bronze par équipe aux Championnats du Monde en 1948 et 1949, et Champion des États-Unis de hardbat en 1997, à l'âge de 67 ans.
