Hi Alois/Jeff,
what is the effect of bat weight?. I find some bats very light and others are relatively heavy.
Thanks.
Hossam.

Hi Hossam,
Different players prefer different weights of bat.
The heavier bats once you start to swing through will travel faster but they are harder to get them moving fast to start with.
The more important thing is the type of wood and the speed of the racket itself.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
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.

So, what do you think of the carbon bats? . I haerd they are very light with high performance. For me i prefer it to be light.
I don't think they make that much difference.
As far as weight it is a matter of getting that feels right in your hand.
