Table tennis racket
Equipment
Richard Chhum Asked 12 years ago
Hi I've got a friend that is starting out in table tennis. Should he buy a pro bat or a 2 dollar bat

Hi Richard,
Good question but my answer would be neither. He needs something in the middle. If you buy a $2 bat you will not be able to learn the strokes because you will not be able to generate any spin and also not be able to control the ball effectively. He doesn't need a pro bat either because it is a big investment and will probably be too fast to begin with.
You need something with reasonable rubber that will generate spin but not be too fast.
And here comes the ad... the PingSkills Rook fits this perfectly... but we do believe this or something similar to this is the best way forward for players.

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!
