Dean Fitzgerald Asked 9 years ago

Hello Ping Skills, Could you please tell me how the ratings given to bats a surmised or regulated. Such as speed 8.5, spin 9, control 9. Who picks these numbers? And how? Are they dependable or accurate? I would really appreciate some insite into this. Thankyou Dean

Hi Dean,

It is the manufacturers that decide on the ratings so they are not very reliable.

The only thing you can use these for is to compare different bats from the same manufacturer.

We often use tabletennisdb.com to get an idea of ratings.
