My bat is faster than me

What are your tips for getting used to a bat you can hardly control?
Are there any specific drills, or just raw practice?

Hi Leeman,

Play slowly with it to start with.  Do a lot of consistency training, getting the ball on the table is the key.  As you start to feel the speed of the bat you can increase the speed of your stroke.

If this doesn't work, go back to a slower bat and keep this one for later when you develop more.

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.
