LETS GET
If you are Sa begTinner yAou shoRuld knTow abEout
theDbest table tennis paddle you should be using
when you are playing, learning and improving your
table tennis playing skills.
There different types of bats that are available,
some which looks like a paddle used in the game
but they are not. This plastic moulded bat, it
has absolutely no grip at all on the surface.
It's only useful for hitting the ball nice and
flat. If you try to perform any sort of spin, it
wont work.
Same case with a bat that has the pimples but no
sponge. Here is the pimpled bat with no sponge
underneath. It's just a ball hitting wood, makes
the same noise too.

SPIN IS IMPORTANT
Yes, that is the big key in the game. When you
are trying to learn different types of strokes,
it's important to have the skill of spinning or
the ability to put topspin or backspin on the
ball when you are making a stroke. BETTER
CONTROL That actually gives you a better control
over the ball too. As you get better and develop
your strokes more, then spin becomes even more
important. When you start of developing the
basic strokes that looks like a forehand, a
backhand, you need to increase in speed, length,
and develop it to a higher level without having
to change the actual stroke. So thats why you
need a paddle that generates a little bit of
spin on the ball. PRE-BUILT PADDLES There are
a lot of pre-made bat that you can find at a lot
of sports retailers, and at the start they are
quite good. They have the necessary grip on the
surface, they've got a bit of sponge underneath
the rubber which gives you a little bit of spin.

LACK OF DURABILITY The only problem with this is
that they wear out really quickly. Within a
couple of weeks or a month, you'll find that the
surface of the rubber has gone completely dead
or the ball just slides across the surface. If
the rubber is dead you wont get any spin, and
thats not really any good at all for learning to
play table tennis. HOW DO YOU GET THE GRIP
BACK? You dont. You need to replace the
rubber. HOW TO KNOW IF THE RUBBER IS DEAD? Rub
your finger across the top of the surface if it's
slippery clean itwith fresh water, if the grip
doesn't come back, then it's time to
replace. WHAT IS A GOOD BAT TO START WITH? Pre
built one. The most important part when getting a
pre- made bat is to look at the quality of the
rubber. The wood doesn't really have a lot of
effect on the performance. What your really need
to look for is the quality of the rubber.

A little bit thicker sponge underneath the
rubber, quality of grip on the surface of the
rubber to allow to generate more spin. The big
advantage of this type of bat, which we call a
pre made bat, is that its got more spin. It has
the ability to generate some spin but still
quite a slow bat, provides enough control to
learn new strokes.
Pre-made Paddle Fetures
A pre-made means that it comes to you already
assembled from the manufacture. It has the wood
and the rubber already glued to it. You simply
just take it out of the packet and start
playing. A better quality pre-made racquet
should last you around a year or a little bit
more than that.

Verdict
Depends on your choices, find a bat that's in
your level, enjoy your game, stick with it and
you'll start to improve gradually.
