Different sounds on contact with the ball around outside
Equipment
Preston Hill Asked 10 years ago
I have noticed that when i hit the ball around the outside of my racket it has a slightly fainter sound then on the inside.
Is this normal?

Hi Preston,
The wood has what they call a “sweet spot” which is in the middle of the racket. Around the outside the wood isn’t as stable so it will make a sightly different sound and feel different as well.

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.

About this sweet spot... is there an advantage to hitting the ball there?
It feels better when you hit it in that spot and the ball will come off a bit faster.
