What sort of bat

What sort of bat to start off with I do play a lot but unfortunately I just cant afford much money. around 50-100 dollars. and do pimples on the bat make a difference.? thanks for any help Bron.

Hi Bron,

You can get a good racket for that amount of money.  The main thing is to find something that has reasonable rubber on it that will allow you to spin the ball and generate enough speed with your strokes.

We have a tutorial on Choosing a Table Tennis Bat that will help you.

We have the PingSkills Rook which is available on the website Store that we recommend as a good bat to learn the game with.
