What way does the sponge affect play?   On a mark V fora beginner  what should I get as the thickness?  Do you have any recommendations on a paddle under 50 dollars?

Hi Jackson,

The sponge effects the speed and spin of the ball.  Usually the thicker the sponge the faster and more spin you can get.

I don't have a recommendation for a paddle under $50.  The closest we have is the PingSkills Rook.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
