Amateur (Non-Professional) Bats

Thank you mr. Plumb!

I just get frustrated by the regular rubbers my game depends on powerful spins and those can't be generated by regular rubbers.

I just started playing 5 months and I still lose to my friend who has been playing since 6th grade and he's 5 years older than I am And he always puts me down and never encourages me for any little progress no matter how little it is and I'm really trying to improve but sometimes I just think I'm better off if I quit it.

Hi Rammi,

What bat are you currently using?

Table Tennis can be frustrating sometimes. And if someone is 5 years older than you it can be hard to compete with them. If possible you should try and join a club as they might have a more enjoyable environment.

right now I'm using the cornilleou 400 and used to play with the 200.

as I mentioned I have been playing for 5 months now and I'm 25. He's been playing since he was at the 6th grade and he's 30 years old now.

Hi Rammi,

I haven't heard of that bat. We recommend the PingSkills Rook as a good bat to learn how to play table tennis. 5 months is not a long time to learn the game. Just keeping working on improving little by little. It often helps to have a focus. For example, you could work on improving your consistency or perhaps your serve. Pick an area and work on that and then move onto another area.

Good luck with it.
