Table tennis bat selection tips

Whether you are a player or a novice, the racket is a must, how to choose a table tennis racket? It's even more difficult for beginners so let's take a look at some tips for choosing a table tennis bat.

Rubber bat

This racket has less elasticity, slow hitting speed and easy control of the ball. When receiving the opposing party's rotating service and playing the ball, the control of the ball is relatively stable. But it is not easy to create a strong rotation, the speed is not too fast when attacking, and the power is not too strong. Therefore, at present, in addition to a small number of defense-oriented athletes, offensive players have rarely used this racket.

The sponge is sticking the rubber patting

Sponge paste rubber patting is divided into two kinds:

(1) The sponge is pasted with "cooked" rubber patting

The rubber of this racket is moderate elastic, the rubber pellet is engraved with patterns (there are some small particles on the rubber surface), and the ball can be "eaten" when hitting the ball (the deeper the pattern on the rubber pellet, the better the performance of the "eat" ball), and the speed is fast. It can produce a certain amount of rotation when serving, curling and pulling the ball. However, the robustness of its control ball is not as good as the rubber racket, and the manufacturing rotation is not as good as the sponge reverse adhesive rubber racket.

This racket is widely used by fast attacking players in our country. In general, people who push and attack left and right and attack two sides only use this racket differently in the choice of sponge, the former uses a harder sponge, the latter uses a softer sponge.

(2) Sponge is sticking "raw" rubber patting

The rubber of this racket has greater elasticity, the rubber particles on the rubber are larger than the "cooked" rubber particles, and the rubber particles are generally not with patterns (the rubber surface is smooth). Because of the large rebound of rubber, it is fast when hitting the ball. In the push, counter attack and return loop, the ball has a rapid sinking phenomenon after the table. When blocking short balls, the ball does not go forward, so it is better to deal with circular balls. However, because the rubber pellet does not have a pattern, it is easy to slip when touching the ball, and the performance of "eating" the ball is poor. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to create a wide rotation change. Only when serving, playing and cutting the ball, such as the explosive force is better, the friction is concentrated, and the sports equipment can produce a strong rotation.

This racket is used by some fast-attacking players. The use of this racket is generally equipped with a thinner sponge to strengthen the performance of the return ball sinking.

(3) The sponge is pasted with "long" rubber patting

The height of the rubber particles of this racket rubber is longer than that of the ordinary rubber (about 1.6 to 1.9 mm), so it is called "long" rubber; The diameter of colloidal particles is smaller than that of ordinary rubber, so the texture is softer.

The performance of "long" rubber racket is: when the ball touches the rubber, because the rubber particles are fine, long and soft, the rubber particles are easy to invert. When hitting back at the other side's light pull ball and not turning the ball, the return ball is not turning the ball; When returning the opponent's twisting loop or assault ball, the return ball is backspin; When returning the opponent's backspin serve or play the ball, the return ball is in top spin. The stronger the opponent's incoming spin, the stronger the reverse spin of the return. Under normal circumstances, this racket is not easy to actively create a strong rotation, mainly relying on the different rotation of the ball to produce the opposite rotation. However, in some specific cases, such as serving, if the ball can be quickly concentrated friction, it can also send a turn ball; Receiving the assault ball in the middle and far table, sending the ball back with the big arm force, can cut out the ball without turning, however, this racket has poor control performance of the ball.
