Balls haven't changed that much over the years

To be fair they probably worse as like most things nowadays are now manufactured in 3rd world countries with variable quality as opposed to days gone by where they were created in England Australia with better workmanship etc

Bats were arguably better with natural willow like they use to be back in the day

The current bats they use shit timber and they basically disposable. Where they have got better is using science and technology to create them so they have bigger sweet spots and can generate more power
