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.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.
