Slow table
Equipment
Marcin Lonak Asked 8 years ago
Hello Alois, Hello Jeff
Everybody is talking about choosing a slower bat for beginners to learn proper strokes, but doesn't it make sense also to play on slower tables too? or in other words, does a fast bat feel on a slow table equal a slow bat on a fast table? I don't necessary mean the rubber.
Thanks

Hi Marcin,
Interesting thought as usual from you.
My thoughts are that the slower bat allows you to feel the ball off your bat and to control your stroke. When shaping the stroke this is important. If the ball comes off your racket too fast then you compromise your stroke. The table doesn't have as much effect. You can slow the shot down that is coming to you which has the same effect as a slower table.
