Rook or Touch with Mark 5

Collin Hill Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois & Jeff, the title pretty much sums up this question... But is the Pingskills Touch with Mark 5 Just as beginner friendly as the Rook? I'm still not sure which one to get seeing that there is a big price difference... Could you guys help?

Hi Collin,

The Rook is good as a first bat.  It will allow you to develop your strokes to a good basic level.

The Touch with Mark V has a lot more scope.  It will still give you reasonable control but you will be able to change the rubber on it once the initial rubber is worn or you outgrow it with speed.  If you can afford it, go for the Touch with Mark V.
