PingSkills i train about 4 months twice a week and i have joola carbon pro is that racket good for me?
PingSkills best
this is the best duo ever
What about oversized blade? Please give me a review about it. I am planning to buy Stiga Clipper WRB Oversize blade. Will it be a good decision?
Can you put a rubber on top of another rubber
"Quality of the rubber on the wood". This game is full of innuendos.
Umar AlFarooq lol was gonna write this but saw you already had
My god
Always remember the quality of the rubber touching the balls.
Uggggh, here's your upvote. Now get out of here.
"Even the best rubbers will wear out." - Relatable.
Thank for your teaching.I can control the ball more better than before.
Thanks ping skills! Played with my first beginners bat for about a year and improved a lot, feel like this advice helped me a lot
Great to hear. Keep enjoying this great game!
I USED UR TIPS AND I WON A STATE TORNAMENT COMING TO NATIONALS!!!'
Broken Broz Congratulations!
thanks
Nice!
R u in Australia
Life,s Good I am. I live in Sydney
Hi Another Cuber, I've never used the Nittaku Japan Original Shake or the Stag Power Drive Plus. Maybe some other people can help you out. You could also ask a question using the ask the coach section of the PingSkills website and we could open it up to other PingSkillers to see if they have any feedback for you.
Thank you so much to both Coach.. i started off young playing table tennis with my dad.. but then stopped at 20, now i turned 40 this year, wanting to start again.. hope i can, thank you for this video…
"Use quality rubbers" That´s what she said..
Bruhhh
Oh come on
😂😂👊
Oof
Lol
Hello Alois and Jeff !! You guys rule. I have learnt everything about TT from you guys and I believe I am slowly moving on to the intermediate level. I recently got a new DHS Professional Quick Attack X series Carbon TT racket.
I got the feel of the racket within a week and a half.
Its slow enough for me to not lose control and fast enough to attack consistently. The rubber on both side is good. The most significant improvement that I am seeing in my game is the increased consistency in my backhand topspin against backspin.
Previously, even after getting to the level of the ball and starting the racket from knee height, I was not totally comfortable in hitting the ball when it had considerable backspin and took to chopping instead, which I particularly hate. But this new racket grips the spin so well and never lets me down provided body position, wrist movement etc. is decent.
I would like to see guys do a "Who is the best in which shot among Ma Long, Zhange Jike and Fan Zhendong", with analysis of the techniques.
Lastly the passion with which you people talk about TT is infectious. You guys simply rock !!
+Sinchan Pathak Thanks so much for the kind words. It's nice we've been able to help you. And congratulations on your improvement. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll keep improving!
I'm three years into my table tennis journey now, and I do feel as though I've finally got the right combination of bat and rubbers. It took quite a few hit and miss trials with different rubbers to get there - I think maybe new players need to be fairly patient with the process because you have to find what feels right for you. Even the best coaches can't actually know what feels right for you. As a local league player who likes to mix defence and attack, with plenty of spinny loops, I've ended up plumping for the Hurricane 3 on both sides. I love its control and looping spin, plus I can still get plenty of pace in my top spins when I want, even though it isn't the fastest rubber. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for sharing your experiences regarding your equipment. Good luck with your table tennis.
Thank you for this very helpful advice, guys. It really helped me to choose the bat that's best for me personally. I'm not really an aggressive player. I focus more on spin, ball placement around the edges and strategy in terms of drawing the opponent out of position and exploiting their errors. I found that having to adapt to whatever bats are supplied is unhelpful and i knew that to take my game to the next level, i would need to invest in my own bat and bring it everywhere in order to build my consistency. Furthermore, i also felt that playing with supplied (cheap) balls was creating bad habits. The prices of various bats ranged from AUD$25-$100, but i didn't focus on the price. I went with what felt right in my hand in terms of weight, and narrowed it down to 2 bats and them used guide to determine which one would suit my style the best. It is a Donic Waldner 700 and the guide has the attack at 90, the spin at 80, & the control at 70. Price was AUD$45, and i got some 3* balls while i was at it.
As i'm finding my consistency, i'm really starting to become more solid as a player and even less predictable, which can only be good. I had also recognized that my topspin was my weakness, and that's what i'm really working on now. I'm so happy with new bat and i certainly feel like i've made the right choice with it. Again, i cannot thank you guys enough!. Your advice was most helpful!! :)
Congratulations on getting your new bat Matty King. It's great to hear your progress and good luck with your table tennis for the future.
Thanks very much, guys. I felt like i was being held back in a sense, but since i've been using this bat, my topspin technique is really improving. I feel like i've got a lot better control as well in terms of ball placement. I understand i'm only at the pre-made stage, but hopefully once i've got my topspin down-pat, i can look towards getting a custom. I was just wondering what you guys thought in terms of this particular bat, but you're probably different players to me anyway. In any case, thanks again. :) Cheers.
Matty King I haven't used that particular bat but Donic is a good brand. It sounds like a good choice for your first pre-made bat. I'm sure over time you will be looking at a custom bat but keep on working hard and enjoying your table tennis in the mean time. Best of luck!
Thanks guys. :) Cheers.
VERY VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I would also recommend 729 and DHS hurricane 3 rubbers for entry level custom made bats - as they are easy to control and at the same time durable.
@Danny Edwardo Actually there are some philosophies that suggest you to use harder rubber with flexible blade to learn spin.
Hi Jason Wong,
You can buy bats from the PingSkills website.
After consistency of keeping the ball on table (defensive type game) and watching this video I bought a Giant Dragon bat with 88 Speed, 82 Spin and 55 Control though I was looking for a better bat this one. But this was the best available here in local market 😂.
It took me 3 days to adjust myself with new bat but now I'm quite comfortable. I got better control and moved to aggressive games, even started forehand smashes.
Thanks @PingSkills.
Great to hear. Keep up the good work!
You are the best channel! I found every answer for every question in my mind. Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm glad you are finding our videos useful.
The Palio Expert 2 is a great bat for beginners. I was recommended it by my tabletennis coach. It's got great rubbers, a decent blade - and it's far superior to the majority of bats you find in sports shops.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
tbh, the palio expert, master and legend range is quite good. i'm about to get a palio legend 3 for christmas. hoping for the best.
Hi Tarun Telang,
I don't know. I haven't ever seen the ITTFA mark? To be a legal rubber to use in an official ITTF competition, the rubber must have the ITTF logo on it.
***** You're welcome.
PingSkills hi i use a stiga pro carbon is that a good bat for a amature whos been playing for 2 and a half years at my school or should i use the new stiga titan?
Frostgaming Frosty I'm not really an equipment expert but the carbon does sound like a fast blade. I'd probably recommend a more all round type blade myself. Something like the Stiga All Round classic or the PingSkills Touch :)
Yay my paddle is good
PingSkills
I want to buy the original table tennis bat , but here in Pakistan only local bat are available, please can u tell me from where i buy the original bat which are using by professional players , thanks
Great video Jeff and Alois
Thanks!
Very helpful guys 😀
Thanks Jordo
This was helpful. I was about the buy the no sponge bat for my school tournament.
I'm glad it helped.
Those things are toys haha
Hello +PingSkills!
I have some trouble choosing a bat...
Im an offensive player that likes to have control and spin on the ball.
Can you recomend anything?
I like killerspin, stiga, yasaka bats!
Thanks.. i love your show.. and easy to understand
Informative series.
Returning to the sport after a lengthy absence. My partner bought me a Yinhe T4S blade along with Yinhe 'Moon Max Tense' rubbers....which seem fine to me...so far.
Great to hear. Welcome back to the sport :)
Hi Mrinal Chauhan,
I wouldn't make the weight the first thing to consider but you do want a bat that feels comfortable for you when playing. Generally speaking, weight is not a big issue when choosing a bat.
hey i have heard that there are certain types of bats but they are 1 star 2 star 3 star and goes all the way up to 5 please tell me what this means???
+Omar M Idrissi These sound like how they might grade pre-made bats. I don't pay too much attention to these ratings as they are just made up by the company making the bat as a marketing tool. For some recommendations check out the bats on the PingSkills website store. These are bats we recommend but there are lots of good choices available.
+Jeff Plumb Thanks alot
Can you please tell me if my bat is good? It is a pre made revolution 6500 Dunlop bat.
+Gaming It's probably OK for a very short time. I haven't used it myself but I imagine that the rubbers won't last too long and then you'll need to try something else. It's important to be able to generate spin to keep developing.
Alois is just amazing
Great vid man.
Looking forward on buying your paddle.
Thanks. I'm glad it helped.
I am using a cornileau out door bat atm, love it!
It is interesting that you mentioned "Butterfly Sriver" and "Yasaka Mark V". When I was playing in the 1970s and 80s they were two of the fastest rubbers on the market and were recommended for advanced attacking players. My Dad was a coach and had a variety of bats ranging from Mark V right down to an ultra slow anti-loop rubber called "Toni Hold". I have still got them in my loft. When I was a Junior learner I used Butterfly;s "All-Round D-13" and when I gained a bit more confidence, I upgraded to "Super Sriver" which was slightly slower than Sriver but had more control. Times must have changed a bit since then !
Thanks for sharing your story. It certainly is interesting to hear about how things used to be and how things have changed.
The ball has changed a bit since then )) it's got much slower.
Back in the 80's I used to love Friendship 729 (2.0) which was a tacky rubber with good control but not too fast for a beginner to intermediate. I used to love playing people with Stiga Mark V. It had a ton of spin but when you gave any spin back it seemed a nightmare for them to control. Other popular at that the time were Butterfly Sriver and Double Happiness. Speed gluing was only emerging as where blades with carbon fibre
Hi, love your videos, I'm just wondering how the rating system works, so like when an intermediate level player has like 2000 points, how do they gain/lose points.
Oh and what is your opinion on the dhs a5002, from what I hear, its quite heavy and slows you down. Anyways thanks!
I love the format of the video
I'm glad you liked it.
You also can start to develop a half stroke when you have a really good racket with lots of grip and sponge because it takes your opponents spin and reverses it. When I used a racket with less sponge and less grip, I had this long swing just so I could get appropriate amount of spin on the ball ... so I would say its not all negative to have less grip. The problem with a racket that has a thin sponge and less grip was that it was really hard to block topspins.
Where can I buy a racket from your shop? Is it like online or smth?
Thanks for the clear explanation.. What is the difference between 3 star, 4 star and 5 star bats ??
I'd say not a lot. If the bats have ratings like this they are probably the fairly basic pre-made bats and the ratings are just marketing tactics by the companies.
@@pingskills That's something we need to spread awareness towards
THANK YOU ...YOU BOTH GIVE GREAT ADVICES...!!
You're welcome :)
I went to a specialized shop where they assembled a bat for me, based on the fact that I was a relative beginner with a preference for attack. After a year I bought another one which is exactly the same. I want to stick with these for at least 2 years or until I find that my technique cannot be improved (not perfect technique but touching my borders of potential to improve). And then I might try making a leap with better gear. Is this a viable plan?
I find that many enthusiastic amateurs expect too much impact from changing gear. So I fully agree with the second part of your video.
That sounds good to me. As we mention in the video, once you are playing full strokes consistently then you can think about going to a faster rubber.
First I want to say I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They're very informative and easy to follow. Since I'm relatively new to the sport I just have a simple question. Since you had mentioned the blade accounts for 10-20% of performance, would I be able to keep blade when it is time for me to advance to a new rubber; or would it be best for me to upgrade both?
Depending on what blade you have now you certainly can keep the same blade. On a pre-made bat the rubber is hard to take off but you certainly can keep the blade. Most people generally buy a new blade when they first upgrade to a custom bat and then keep that same blade for a number of years.
please do a video on standard types of rubbers and their peculiar features like you talked about mach 5 !! that will be very helpful !! :D
Mark V
stiga vaporizer 5* , ive been using this for 2months and i love it .. im buying a new Stiga vaporizer 5* asap .. so if u need something good for kinda cheap buy stiga vaporizer ! :-)
Hi Sunil Rana Magar,
The most important part of the bat is the rubber. The blade is less important but does affect the speed. That's why we recommend an all round blade for most players and then you can adjust the speed by getting different rubbers. Of course some people like slower blades and some people like faster blades.
Damn this video was soo helpful!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, you guys are awesome.
+Roman Odhako No worries, you're welcome :)
Hey thanks for your vids love them I play at my school with my friends, we played for 2 years. We use ready Butterfly rackets of the Timo Boll, Michael Maze series. How are them?
These sound like reasonable bats to start with. If you've played with them for 2 years then the rubbers have probably worn out so you should consider getting new rubbers for them. Something like Mark V or Sriver is a good option. Or you could buy a new pre-made bat.
This is a gold mine
Q: “How often should I change the rubber”
A: “After every shot boyo, after every shot”
😂
Remember, rubbers wear out remember to replace them from time to time.
Good advice *****
After how many months we need to change rubber
@@pirateworks3423 it depends on how much you play and it's different for each rubber. For example, I have my fxp 1 year and through this year I have changed my els twice. It mostly depends on you, when you feel it doesn't do the work well, it needs change.
I can do spins and smash I am buying new bat when I searched online in amazon it shows stag company rackets showing 4start 5 star I am getting confused plz help
@@pirateworks3423 never buy rackets like that if you want a good pre made racket then I suggest stiga evolution or stiga pro carbon
how is the zjk super zlc can you do a review i am planning to purchase one
Dear PingSkills, I have been playing for about half a year and thanks to your videos I have learned my fundamentals. I am currently using a paddle that I bought at a sports store near me, but the rubber is dead. Could you please recommend a good custom paddle? Thanks.
We sell the PingSkills Touch with Mark V which would be a good option. :) The stiga all round classic with Mark V would also be good. Another option would be the Butterfly Primorac OFF- with Sriver.
Let us know what you choose. It's always exciting to get new equipment. If you have any other questions let us know. You can also ask questions on the PingSkills website using the "ask the coach" section.
I'm glad you've been finding our lessons helpful. Keep up the good work!
Good info! Thanks!
You're welcome.
mine is 8 years old. it's time to upgrade 😂
@Forget It what about 2 days thats mine
ua-cam.com/video/sBQpOAkPW0k/v-deo.html
Mine is 38 y.o. (chinese double fish 1982) and it‘s just fine. Lots of spin
do pros always use really fast rubbers or do some also use the softer ones for more control?
Unless they are defensive players, they top 100 in the world will al be using really fast rubbers. However not everyone should start with fast rubbers and it's hard to learn the correct techniques for your strokes if you can't control the ball.
@@pingskills i started with a kinda slow rubber after 1 or 2 months i want something faster i can tell i could control more
Great video, very imformative
Thanks for the quick reply.
You're welcome.
I'm a really good backhand topspin player and I have loads of tournaments coming up
Can you recommend some good bats specific for backhand?
Thanks
Craze ZR Hurricane 2, I’m pretty much the same as you and I use the hurricane 2 so I would recommend that, though it is quite expensive
Good to hear. I would use a rubber that enhances your topspin. Something like Xiom Vega Pro or Tenergy 05.
@@pingskills thanks so much
I watch nearly all your videos:)
The wood has 10-20% value until a certain point in your table tennis level. Once you cross that level, there is a definite need for some extra help from the wood to help finish the points. Carbon is essential once a person starts to play in leagues and can't simply just outlast the opponent. There is a need for winning shots after that.
Nice video guys👍👍✌️
any reviews on the killerspin jet 800? im thinking of pulling the trigger on it
Hello guys, I would like to know your opinion on the famous Butterfly Sriver rubber. Is it overrated? Or it is actually a great rubber option as first or second custom-made racket?
I think it's a really good rubber for a first and second custom made racket. When speed glue was legal I actually used it as my preferred rubber.
Thank you for your answer!
You're welcome.
Today I got my Ping skills bat and It looks really good. Still I have not tried it but I will
Excellent. Let me know how you like it after you've played with it for a while.
+PingSkills I finally tried my Ping skills touch. At first it was hard to control the rubber but some hours later I got more balls on the table. Still some balls are going out. Really good blade, rubber and the combination of it. Good job!
Great to hear. The more you use it the more you will get used to the speed and spin. Keep enjoying your table tennis!
Dima Shevchenko how much is the price
Nice teaching
When it comes time to replace the rubber on my premade bat, can I use a little bit of acetone to remove the residual glue and foam left behind after pulling the factory rubber off? Will the acetone damage the wood or change its properties in any way?
If you have an ok pre-made bat and if the blade has such little significance, could you use a pre made blade and once the rubber dies, could you buy new rubbers for that blade?
Hi Joshua Gold,
You certainly can do that. The trick is getting the initial rubbers of the blade as with pre-made bats they glue them on with really strong glue. It takes a bit of effort but once you do you certainly can use the blade. We have done that with some of our pre-made bats for players before and it works quite well.
PingSkills Cheers for the speedy reply, only had my current bat for the last 2 months and thats when I first played but am loving it. :)
Joshua Gold Good to hear.
+PingSkills What do you mean by "getting the initial rubbers of the blade". I have the racket at 2:21 and I've been using it for about 3 months and I think it is wearing out a little bit.
DuskGlade he is saying it is hard to get the worn out rubbers off the wood because of the strong glue they use. but once you do, you can use the blade
Its good that I'm poor that I can't just change the custom rubber every week ahaha
Isn't it kinda difficult to do
I just had the company assembled it
+PingSkills i have been playing for a year now. I have been using joola flame extreme and rhyzm p on both sides, but i feel there is something better for me. I have a really strong spinny fh loop. I play around six feet away from the table. Ive heard the timo boll spirit is good, but is their something you recomend? Preferably under 150 us dollars.
Hey,great videos keep it up
just want to ask if you can do how to build your racket
Thanks. Here's a video showing you how to replace a rubber - www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/equipment-lessons/replacing-your-rubber/
+pingskills
I just bought a new racket. It's called
Donic Waldner 900 racket
Awesome, it's great getting new equipment!
Hello I am looking for a bat around the £40 range, do you have any suggestions on a good bat to use?
We recommend the PingSkills Rook - www.pingskills.com/table-tennis-store/pre-made-bats.php
There are lots of good options though and it does come down to personal choice. Good luck with your search.
PingSkills hey do i have to pay some kind of thing when you send me something from your hq to eu?(where is it)
"Drop of your racket"? I thought it was a bat lol
Ben McClean Bat or Racket, we use the terms interchangeably here in Australia.
Hello, I plan on buying a Butterfly Timo Boll Allround blade with sriver rubbers, what sponge thickness do you recommend for control, mostly to develop the strokes you teach in your extensive course.
Thanks
Great choice. I'd probably start with 1.9mm rubbers and then after they wear out you could then decide to stick with the 1.9mm or go to 2.1mm if you feel ready. Good luck. It's so much fun getting new equipment!
Is the Schildkröt Jade bat any good?
Could you tell me a good bat with a price under 100$ and longlasting with a good sponge and all.
+Raiyan Ahmed For people looking for their first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook. You can find out more about this bat on the PingSkills website.
PingSkills this is not my 1st bat but I need a good one with the price of under 100$
+Raiyan Ahmed What bat do you use at the moment?
PingSkills It is a Ninja cheap bats but im going an inter university table tennis tournament because I recently improved highly at it, I thought about Stiga Pro Carbon or is there a better choice?
+Raiyan Ahmed As there are so many different choices we don't really keep up with all the different bats and so I haven't tried that specific one. If you like you can ask a question on the PingSkills website about the bat and we can open it up to see if other PingSkillers have any thoughts on it.
As the next step up from the PingSkills Rook we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V. It is a custom made bat.
Can't I just re-cover my pre made bat with good rubber? It was a nice bat when I bought it
Yes
The 2nd guys face 😂. When he said "the wood and the rubber" @7:50
What do you think of the Stiga Evolution pre made bat. Ive only used the basic "sporting goods store" bat for the past few years and want to move up.
I haven't tried that myself but Stiga is a reputable brand.The problem with equipment is there are so many choices it can become overwhelming. We have a few bats that we know are good and recommend on the PingSkills website.
You can always ask this question using the Ask the Coach section of the PingSkills website and we can open it up for other readers to comment.
Hi Guys! In a video from EmratThitch, I've heard that in chinese tt philosophy, the most important part of a bat is the wood (80%), then come the rubbers (20%).
This statement is probably more relevant for high level players. What do you think about it?
I'd say the opposite. Rubbers will have 80% effect and the blade 20%.
It depends. Blade decides your playing style and rubber supports it with spin and speed.
TT Romain Bern of course this statement is completely wrong with those numbers; you could use a glas plate or stiff cardboard with high quality rubber and wouldn't notice as much of a big difference as to a professional blade than you would notice when having a professional blade with high quality rubber (even of different pimple structures - already a huge difference!) or with a layer cut from your car tires glued onto your blade.
At first the bad blade would feel weird, but you would get used to it (although it would still impair good shots and you would notice how it's hindering you) - but if the rubber is lacking, there is nothing you can add or do.
What he wanted to say is: the blade is important, it gives the feel & the "direct" interaction with the ball, while the rubber does its "rubber-magic". So in order to learn a good stroke, the blade is important, so that you brain learns how interaction with a ball feels (stiff materials don't give that much feedback). But as mentioned, those 80 blade/20 rubber numbers are obviously ridiculous! It's more like "the blade is very important: 0/80 isn't 100%; not full potential". He should have worded it more like that.
You misunderstood EmRatThich! He mentioned that in China the bat's characteristics are 80% responsible for the feel (spin, control) and rubbers provide the speed, while in Europe, players choose harder bats for speed, and softer rubbers for control and spin.
but if it gets to 10-0 You're supposed to give them a mercy point
Maybe, we've discussed this on our podcast previously. I think if you make it really obvious that you are giving them the point then it is just as demeaning as beating them 11-0.
Please Ping Skills
show more videos with information for penhold players.
Thanks
We'll see if we can do some more in the future. If you search for PingSkills penhold techniques you'll find what we have today.
Hi, Jeff/Alois, can you please suggest me which bat would be better for me: Donic waldner 3000 or Carbotech 50. I like to play a bit offensive and chop quite a bit too. I really need help as i am unable to decide.
Yeah i find the bat pretty Good but im Working on My techniuqe
Nice, that's what I like to hear :)
Is a 5 star Stiga bat okay because I cant really order a custom made bat online
Arttu Ylitervo not very ok.

Hi PingSkills, while buying a TT racquet, we see some stats on it like spin 98, speed 93 etc. Could you please make one video/ explain like what those parameters exactly stand for, how they impact the performance of the bat and what would be the ideal numbers to choose while selecting a bat for purchasing.
Thank you.
Those numbers are not very consistent across brands as the companies make up these numbers themselves hence I don't think they are that helpful. You could take a look at tabletennisdb.com for some more advice on equipment. I think the main points you need to worry about are covered in this video. What bat are you using at the moment?
Jeff Plumb's smile was sooo adorable at 2:14!!!
Thanks :)
Cheers,

*Hello guys. The BEST way to choose equips is to buy the most expensive setup out there and if it does not suit your level, buy the 2nd most expensive gear. Work your way down until you find the best setup.*
Thats just wasting money XD
Good one thanks
Hi I was wondering if the butterfly timo boll silver is a good bat
i ordered a paddle called Palio Expert 2, do you have any experience with this paddle?
I remember the first bat i used was andzrej grubba all+ blade with two sriver fx´s on it. That bat was very good to begin with
Yes, that sounds like a good bat :)
Thinking of replacing my 2 original bats, with the much better rook bats, coudnt you just replace the rubbers on the rook bat, when they finally wear out?
Thanks, great channel!
Yes, you can replace the rubbers on the rook bat when they wear out. The rubbers are glued on with a strong glue so you do need to be careful when taking the old ones off.
We played many a good match roughly age 12... Gosh how times flies Alois.
Great to see you're still involved with the game. 😎
*** unsure why this appeared on my feed, great it did.
Thinking of my old bat at the time we played....was a Stiga Johannson (spelling?) Mark v (2.5mm) & unsure what was on my backhand. It changed often.
Yes that was a popular bat at the time. Played a lot of matches in those early years at the tournaments and Junior pennant on a Saturday morning.
@@PingSkillsFrench I totally forgot about junior pennant, seems so long ago. However, pennant (Monday night perhaps), I recall fairly well.
I've been playing with my crappy pre made racket for years. The rubber was dead within a month of heavy use in college, and I grew accustomed to the speed that the dead rubber and extremely thin foam provided. I think I ought to be safe going to a tenergy 05 for my forehand and something softer like a sriver for my backhand. I'm sticking to a 5 ply lightweight blade to make sure I'm not overdoing the speed
Hard to say for sure but Tenergy is extremely fast especially if you are used to a dead racket. You might be best trying Sriver as a stepping stone and get used to that first.
Can we get an update for this video? still has some relavent info, but would really like to see options for the different levels of play. Also would love to see a slightly cheaper option in your store. Not quite at the "practice every day to become a competitor" level just yet, but would like a paddle that isn't just the one sitting idly by that is crap. Looking to spend 20-30$ on one though. Any suggestions?
Hey guys, I use a Stiga Cannon. I love the paddle and it's very durable. I like the paddle, but I have trouble with spin on it. Do u have any suggestions for cheap custom bats? Like under $80. Thanks.
Thanks ping skills
How is the nittaku japan original shake 1000 compared to stag power drive plus?
Thank you
Hi I have problems on returning shots and controlling the ball what do u recommend me?
Francisco Collazo peel the rubber off of the paddle and use the paddle with the foam that was under the rubber before
Hi guys, first of all i want to say thank you for the tips, i bought a premade blade Is a Palio Master 2 with great rotation and speed, if u know it can u tell me if is a good racket ?
I haven't used it myself but have heard good reports about it as a pre-made bat.
hello I am Gatot From Yogyakarta Indonesia ,It really helped me to choose the bat that's best for me personally
hi, I have recently bought a palio master2 premade which has a cj8000 rubber on both side...it plays well but the total weight of bat is 240gm. is it too heavy?? it feels kind of heavy to me. what should be the appropriate weight of a paddle with the rubber on?
rahat hasnat The Palio is pretty good actually just like the DHS A4002. Coming back to your question, the weight of the blade/overall racket does not matter. Some blades are heavy, some are not. It all really comes to perfecting your skill. :)
thanks for the reply. i was thinking to buy a new one. but i was strictly not allowed as i buyied it for 20$.
would should i do
Hi Pingskills, I recently bought a Stiga "Vantage" for $19.99 and it has 2.0 mm sponge and their WRB handle. I use to have a 3.99 paddle from target that had 1mm sponge. Obviously these feel extremely different. Since there's more sponge I have to hit harder and get used to that. Was the Vantage a good choice?
I've never used the Vantage but it sounds like it will be OK to start with whilst you learn the basics and how to spin the ball.
hi ,today i want to ask a question that how much effect did blade have.
