Training with a different racket

Greetings from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, and yes, I am one of your fans, thanks for such a great table tennis site!

My question: I prefer to train with the same racket I use to play but others use a heavier one or with lower quality rubbers to train because this will force them to play better with their superior racket. What is your advice?

Thanks,

Hi Hector,

You are definitely on the right track.

You should always train with the racket you are going to play matches with.  Table Tennis is too much about the fine skills to have different equipment between training and playing matches.

Thanks for the kind words about our site.
