Query about Donic Waldner 500 Table Tennis Racquet

I recently bought the Donic Waldner 500 Racquet which has 1.8mm rubber, but when I started playing with this racquet, it is sounding like a ball is hitting to plain plywood. I tried to spin the ball with my new racquet, but its not doing well.

Is the Donic Waldner 500 is a bad choice ? or Is it a problem with the rubber(may be old racquet sold as new one) ?

I appreciate your response on this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Murthy,

They are designed as a beginner bat that won't give you a lot of spin or speed.

It is always difficult to tell with rackets.  I would persevere with it for a little while and then progress to a better racket when the budget allows.
