Does the glue you use make a difference

Hi I was wondering if the glue you use makes a difference to the speed of the bat and if it affects the spin.Or are all glues the same?

Thanks

Hi Shea,

You should only use Table Tennis Water Based glues.  Most of them are very similar and won’t make a difference to the speed.

However if you use the old “speed glues” they will make the bat faster.  They are illegal now so stay away from them.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

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.
