Table tennis rackets
It goes without saying that you need a good racket to play ping pong – a racket that feels just like a continuation of your hand. A good table tennis racket must be ergonomic, not too heavy and not too light, and it certainly has to be durable – quite enough requirements for such a small object, don’t you think? So, how to choose a ping pong racket? We’ve prepared some tips!
Professional Rackets – Individual Approach Means Everything
Both beginners and professionals play table tennis, but amateur equipment is very different from the professional one. The main difference is in the racket – ping pong rackets for amateurs are mostly produced already assembled whereas professional table tennis rackets are always put together by the players themselves, combining the base of the racket and a special rubber pad.
Table tennis rackets and pads are available in a huge range, which allows each table tennis fan to create an individual racket, taking into account their own level of play and style. You can create the best table tennis racket over time by trying out different bases and pads – these components affect everything, from the speed of the racket to the spinning and the player’s confidence during the match.
How to Choose a Table Tennis Racket?
Table tennis rackets look simple, but they have quite a lot of significant characteristics that determine the technical capabilities of the racket. Here's what to look out for when choosing a new racket:
marking – DEF for games in defense style, ALL for a regular style, OFF for aggressive play and certainly not for beginners;
weight – extra light and extra heavy rackets (a padded ping pong racket can weigh up to 200 g) can make playing difficult, especially if you are just a beginner;
speed – this parameter determines how fast the ball bounces off the surface of the racket. 3-4 point speed is suitable for defense style, 4-7 points for a balanced play, 8-9 points for attack;
layers – there are rackets with wood layers and combined rackets with both wood and carbon layers. Carbon rackets tend to be faster, with a larger contact point, suitable for aggressive and fast play.
Choosing a table tennis racket is much easier when you can buy all the necessary components in one place. We, Pingpongshop.eu online store, offer different types of racket bases and pads from the best manufacturers – choose and order now!
