Hi Samuel,

You need a good shoe with good grip and at the same time being light.  The Table Tennis shoes do fit that.  You can also look at any indoor sports shoe from a sports shop.  They all tend to be pretty expensive though.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Hi Julio,

Tennis court shoes may be a bit heavy and bulky.  You are better to get something with a lighter sole.
