Bat Choice
Equipment
Matt Cohagen Matt Cohagen Asked 8 years ago
Hello Alois,
I am a new, trending into an intermediate player and I have been playing with a Killerspin Jet 400 for close to a year. I like the bat but I have trouble getting enough spin on my forehand loops to get them to land. I like the control but feel it lacks spin. I was looking at one of the Ping Skills bats as a possible upgrade. Not being around the sport much and unable to try different setups I was hoping for a little pro advice. Also, I have a 9 year old boy who plays as well so any advice on a setup for him would be appreciated. He is a beginner but is better than most adults who come play with us.

Hi Matt,
You could probably go for the Touch with Rakza 7 for yourself and the Touch with Mark V for your son. If you think that he may struggle with the Mark V you cold go for the Rook to start with. If he has been playing for a year and had the basic strokes right, then the Mark V should be OK.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
