Broken Bat
Equipment
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 11 years ago
I have been playing the TSP Balsa 4.0 for 3 Mönchs now and I'm very impressed of it. I have been hitting the table lots, and When I did the "breaking test" (place the bat on the table with the handle over it and press down...) I couldn't find any cracks or something like that. But now I have the concern the blade could be broken inside. This blade is heavy pressed balsa wood with two sheets of fiber glass in it, so I don't know if it can really "broke". Is it possible? Do you think my blade is broken and how could I find it out? Thanks and have a nice weekend you guys, Lukas.

Hi Lukas,
If the blades isn't wobbling when you press it is probably OK. You will often feel the difference when hitting the ball if the blade is broken.

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.

It wobbles a bit, but just like every blade. When I push the handle down, it feels complitety normal.
Hi Lukas,
If it is only wobbling a little then it should be OK. The Speed glue won't effect it that much.

It is not sticky because you put lots of heavy on the bat or it will not be sticky any more becuase you do not put enougth.
