Need comparative review of few pre made bats

I bought a Donic Waldner - 1000.

I had been using GKI TT bats i.e. kung fu, dragon etc. earlier and this bat is completely different from them. After using this new bat for almost a week now I feel like I have some control over it. I don't feel much difference in spin though but light weight and higher speed make me feel happy.

I don't have comparison, but I own a Waldner-900. I'm a very average player, so I may be wrong, but I believe that I can observe a few things right.

Buddy, I can tell you about the Waldner-900. Its amazing racket if you want to play the game where you like the ball to roll on your paddle. It'll put enough spin (all kinds - both surfaces) on ball. Not the best if you are going for speed-based game. You can of course play speed with it, but you'll have to work extra to put that speed on the ball - as the rubber is little softer. I hope other people share there experiences regarding other paddles you mentioned.

Hi Vishwjeet n other players,

me looking for looking for waldler -700 or waldler-800 bat..Please do suggest me .I am confused by the control mentioned on the bat because I really dnt knw wht do control suggest, mentioned on each Bat of any Brand.I am aggressive player,like to play my shots but when i face better player than me I immensely depend on Spin and Chopps, so i can simply continue my game by placing ball on the table.But still say I am Aggressive player.

Need your suggestions .Suggestion for other than these 2 bats  is also welcome

Hi Manas,

It really depends upon your level. If you have excellent control on the ball then you can go for a faster bat. Even though you are an aggressive player, you need good control before you should move to a fast bat. We recommend the PingSkills Touch with either Mark V, Yasaka Pryde or Xiom Vega Pro. Xiom Vega Pro is the fastest and what Alois and I use but again it is important you have good technique and control before moving to this.

I hope that helps.

Hi ,

Thankful for your suggestion !!!!

I will take some time to judge myself wheather I am able to control my game with these fast bats or not.But ,bat you suggested are not available. in India. So please do suggest bats which i can get in India or between the bat "" Waldler -700 or Waldler-800  "" bat.

Secondary, I do want to ask what does ""CONTROL"" mean. Bats mentioned with higher control rating are ""easy to control the ball "" or it means ""we have to be more careful while playing our shots with these Bats.""

Control is talking about how easy it is for you to control the ball. The more controlled the blade, generally, the slower the blade will be. If the blade is a super fast bat, it is harder to control and hence not considered a controlled blade.

With regards to actual bats, there is just so many options available and we don't keep up with them. That's why we recommend just a few bats on our website. We know these are good and you'll be able to improve your game with them. And we do ship these to India too! Hopefully our readers can help you with the bats you have mentioned.

Having said all that, I'd like to reiterate that the key to good table tennis is improving your technique so it's important to focus on that aspect of the game much more than your equipment.

Good luck with your game and with finding a good bat.
