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.

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!
