Hi i'm just starting to take table tennis seriously and so i'm kinda a beginner. I was wondering what qualities should i look at when buying a bat? and where would be the best place to get a bat for beginners ?

Hi Sam,

Look for bat with decent quality rubber first and foremost.

Take a look at the Blog we have done on Equipment Experiment. It will give you some ideas of what to look for.

Don't go for something too fats or too expensive to start with.  Around US$50 is good to start with.  Werecommend the Stiga Carbotech as an ideal bat to start with.  The next one if you can afford it is the William Henzell Bat with Mark V.

The Olympic Games showcase the highest level of table tennis… but there are some things you definitely won’t see on that stage 😂

In this video, we take a fun look at:

✅ What really happens at the Olympics – like high toss serves and insane around-the-net shots ❌ And what definitely doesn’t – like giant bats, tiny paddles, and other PingSkills chaos

🎯 It's a mix of serious skill and a bit of silliness—just how we like it.
