Hi coach , thanks for the previous answer . i really appreciate it a lot . :D

Now my question is that , whats more important , speed or control ? i mean what should a beginner , intermediate and a pro player look for ?

My limited understanding is that both speed and control are opposite to each other . Is it really true or just a myth created by some players .

And if according to u both are opposite to each other , then what would be ur preference for urself and for me ?

(by the way , just for the info  , im a a recreational player , and my level is between a beginner and an intermedite . Actually i dont practice alot thats why my play level isnt increasing otherwise i would have been a much better player) 

Thanks in advance cause i know ur reply will be beneficial for me :)

Hi Kashif,

For you control is important.  Until you get your strokes grooved well and if you are playing regularly then go for something with good control.

We would recommend the PingSkills Rook Table Tennis Bat or if you are looking for something a bit faster then the PingSkills Touch Table Tennis Bat with Mark V.

I use the PingSkills Touch with XIOM Vega Pro because it is a little faster and suits my game.
