choosing a racket

Deneil Unknown Asked 15 years ago

in choosing a racket , would higher price mean good quality ?

not really for endorsement but , what racket is suitable for an amateur player. (competitions inside and outside the school)

Hi Deneil,

Higher price doesn't always mean better quality but it is generally a reasonable guide.

The racket that we recommend for an amateur is the Stiga Carbotech Table Tennis Bat. This is a good bat as it allows you to generate some spin and also gives you good control.

Good luck with your table tennis.

Hi coach

I watched your video on choosing a racket and it taught me alot. I have the racket that u stated could be found at any sports store. The rubber is worn after only 3 weeks. I think i am a farly good player and want to get a new racket. I dont know if i should go up to a high level pre made racket or a costom maid racket. If you could please give me your opinion. And also please give me an example of a racket you would suggest and if u think i should go custom. What type of rubber to use along with thickness of padding. Thank you gery much for all your help in this situation. P.s. Just thought u should know that i am a penhold player if that makes a difference.

Hi Matthew,

I would go for a lower level custom made bat. Use Mark V rubber and use a 2mm thickness. As far as a blade choose a blade that is rated as all round. This will give you a good balance to learn the game.
