Choosing a bat?
Equipment
Josh Mulkeen Asked 15 years ago
Hi Coach!
I'm getting a table tennis bat for my birthday and I wondering what brand, type and model I should get.
I've just switched from Shakehand to Penhold.
I'm 13.
I'm not small, neither am I tall.
I LOVE spinning the ball,
and I'm not a quick player, I like control.
Money is not an issue.
It's my 2nd bat.
Have you got any ideas for me, coach? Or can you give me a a sponge thickness that suits me.
Plus, does the penhold handle give you any advantages when your playing penhold?
Thanks, Coach.
MuuuLK.

Hi Josh,
The penhold handle is a matter of comfort. I don't have any recommendations for a penhold racket. I will leave that up to the penhold players out there.
If you like spinning the ball you should use a rubber with around 2mm thickness. Probably a Mark V or Yasaka Pryde.

When choosing a net look for one with a good clamp, an adjustable height mechanism, and a way to tension the net.
