Ping Pong Shoes
Equipment
Marie Gauthier Asked 2 years ago
What kind of shoes should be worn to prevent injuries as a result of the special footwork required in ping pong?

Hi Marie,
The main thing is to have a low profile shoe with good grip on the sole. The low profile is because you are doing a lot of sideways movement. If the sole is too thick it can lead to ankle issues. The grip is important to be able to stop and change direction quickly.
The general indoor sports shoes tend to be good. There are also specific Table Tennis shoes available through some Table Tennis suppliers.
Take a look at this old tutorial we have on the subject as well, Choosing Table Tennis Shoes.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
