Is my bat is holding me back?

I've been using a fairly inexpensive (USD $25 - 30) Stiga Elite bat for a while now. I think it's pretty good for an early intermediate player, but my skills have improved quite a bit this year.

How do I know when I've advanced beyond my current bat and it's time to upgrade?

The videos are a fantastic help. Keep it up!

Hi Kevin,

When you feel you have too much control and not enough speed. When you are tyring to hit the ball hard but it is not helping you to do that. It is probably time to change. 

It is not a clear cut answer but if you feel it is time it may well be.

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.
