Hi I've got a friend that is starting out in table tennis. Should he buy a pro bat or a 2 dollar bat
Hi Richard,
Good question but my answer would be neither. He needs something in the middle. If you buy a $2 bat you will not be able to learn the strokes because you will not be able to generate any spin and also not be able to control the ball effectively. He doesn't need a pro bat either because it is a big investment and will probably be too fast to begin with.
You need something with reasonable rubber that will generate spin but not be too fast.
And here comes the ad... the PingSkills Rook fits this perfectly... but we do believe this or something similar to this is the best way forward for players.
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.
