Eillon Amancio Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff, I live in the Philippines. What's a good starter racket aside from rackets that are cheaper than your Pingskills Rook or rackets that are below the $40/₱800 price range? Pls. reply specifically because I'm looking forward to buying a cheap starter racket this Christmas.

Hi Eillon,
I don't have any recommendations but other readers may know what is good in the Phillipines.
Make sure you also watch the Choosing a Table Tennis Bat video.

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!

Don't buy cheap racket bcoz we cannot give garenty when they may brake or the rubber may loose grip.
buy a good racket such as GKI , PINGSKILLS touch/Rook , Stiga

Go for Pingskills Rook. As a beginner, you need to learn proper techniques, and spin is essential. Cheap rackets may have very substandard rubbers which can't produce much spin, and hence compromising your progress in table tennis.

Yes ...that's absolutely correct Beneze.
