Hi,

Well i have a question why theres racquet more heavy? what does it mean? this day i bought a stiga calibra(5 stars) and it is heavy...i dont know if heaviest racquet improve my performance of playing. Now im not using it im using a normal one  that isnt heavy (around 10-15 dollars) and i play much better.With the heavy one it is a little bit complicated to me because when i receive the ball is goes outside of the table...

Hi Fa,

The weight of the racket is a personal preference. 

The heavier racket though may have better quality rubber and wood which will make a significant difference.  If you are talking about a pre made bat with cheap rubber you may be better off going with a heavier bat that has good quality rubber and allows you to spin the ball properly.  This will allow you to learn your strokes correctly as well.

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.
