How do I choose a paddle
Equipment
joe ftzgerald Asked 12 years ago
My son (15) and myself (56) have just purchased a Stiga table but we are not sure we are using the correct Paddles? We are using some old paddles we had previously used. What should a beginner/intermediate be looking for in a paddle.
Thanks Joe

Hi Joe,
The main thing is that there is a bit of sponge under the rubber and the surface of the rubber has some grip.
There are literally hundreds of options out there. Stay away from the bats with pimples on them and without any sponge. They will be hard to develop your game with.
The base level bat that we have is the PingSkills Rook. This sort of bat will allow you to develop your game to quite a good level.
What are the bats you are using like? Do they have any names on them?

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
