Your paddles
Equipment
David Rushton Asked 14 years ago
Hey pingskills,
When I watch your videos, I notice that your paddle doesn't have side tape, but that's not what i'm wondering about.
What I AM wondering about is the fact that your paddle is thicker than others, the only other time I have seen that was in the japanese movie ping pong, as well as paper thin rubber. Are you just not using a sponge? weirds me out....
thanks

Hi David,
Thanks for the question. From my experience our bats are a fairly standard thickness. The cheap bats you can get from K-mart can be very thin but these bats are no good for improving your Table Tennis because they cannot generate any spin.
We now have some great PingSkills bats available in our online store. We have the PingSkills Rook which is a great bat for your first real Table Tennis bat. If you are used to using a really thin bat that does not have inverted rubber then this would be a great bat to get you on started with some good equipment. Both Alois and I are using the PingSkills Touch with Xiom Vega Pro which is a really fast combination and only suitable once you have developed great control.

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.

Thanks for the reply,
Actually though, I am currently using the Dhs x4002 paddle and have been doing so since September. I like it a lot.
Hi David,
It is great that you have found a bat that you like. You should definitely stick with it. Now you can put all your focus on improving your skills :)
