Hi Ping Skills Coaches,

Can I use Tennis shoes to play Table Tennis?

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.

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!
