Hi Michoel,

Don't be discouraged, it often takes a while to get the feeling of a new table tennis bat. Out of interest what bat did you buy?

The best idea with a new bat is to spend a couple of practice sessions hitting the ball slowly and consistently to get used to the speed and spin of the new racket. Usually this does the trick. Please give this a try and then report back. Good luck!

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!
