Hi,

Well i have a question why theres racquet more heavy? what does it mean? this day i bought a stiga calibra(5 stars) and it is heavy...i dont know if heaviest racquet improve my performance of playing. Now im not using it im using a normal one  that isnt heavy (around 10-15 dollars) and i play much better.With the heavy one it is a little bit complicated to me because when i receive the ball is goes outside of the table...

Hi Fa,

The weight of the racket is a personal preference. 

The heavier racket though may have better quality rubber and wood which will make a significant difference.  If you are talking about a pre made bat with cheap rubber you may be better off going with a heavier bat that has good quality rubber and allows you to spin the ball properly.  This will allow you to learn your strokes correctly as well.

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!
