Equipment

I am a relative beginner. I have been playing for about 6 months with a premade shake hand bat and want to buy a custom one now. I have already decided on a stiga allround Carbon classic for the blade but am unsure about rubbers. I was considering vega pro and mark v, but I don't know for sure. What should I use for forehand and backhand, and in what thickness? Thanks

Hi Jaci,

I would start with Mark V rubber on both sides.  This will give you good enough speed and spin to start with.

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.
