Which racket to buy

Abhinav Raje Asked 16 years ago

I am planning to buy a new racket. In the shops there are various rackets available with 2mm or 1.5 mm thick rubber. Which racket should i buy?

Also various percentage of spin & power is mentioned for each racket. Please inform does the weight of the racket make any difference in your game.

Hi Abhinav,

When buying a racket you need to consider the speed and spin of the rubber and the blade (wood part).

You need to get something that will suit your standard and your game.  I think it is better to err on the side of slow until you really develop your game.  So I would go for the 1.5 mm rubber initially.

The weight is a personal preference.  Some people like a heavier racket and others like a lighter racket.  Hold them both and see which feels more comfortable.

How much are you looking to spend is another factor.

At PingSkills we have sourced 3 bats that we consider to be good mid range bats.  Have a look at them in the Pingskills online store and see if there is something that would suit you.
