Hi Ping Skills Coaches,

Can I use Tennis shoes to play Table Tennis?

Alois Rosario Answered 18 years ago

Hi Nicosef,

The main thing to watch for is that the shoes aren't too high and have good grip on an indoor surface.

If they are too high you are likely to twist your ankle as you move sideways fast. The grip helps you to stop and change direction quickly. Have a look at the blog on shoes on our site.

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.
