Information On Various Types of Table Tennis Paddles
Having speed, spin, accuracy and control is what one needs to enjoy a game of ping pong on a Stiga table tennis table . And for that one needs to have good quality ping pong paddles which are also known as handles or rackets. Usually ping pong paddles are designed with wooden handles finished with sponge to make it comfortable for the players to hold and grip the handle easily and enjoy unlimited wrist movements to swing the paddle at any time.
It is the quality of ping pong paddles which helps in producing incredible flow of speed and accuracy when one hits the ball on a Stiga table tennis table. There are numerous ping pong paddles, but not all of them are perfect for everyone. For instance, a ping pong paddle that suits you might be a disaster for someone else. If one enjoys a tight swing, a smaller paddle is a better option, but for free flowing swing at wide angles one must go for a slightly bigger one.
In the market one can find different types of paddles just like ping pong tables. As far as handle style is concerned one can go for personal preference, but one needs to seriously think about the material composition as one’s performance hugely depends on it. Plus, buying the right ping pong blades also depends hugely on playing style and level. Thus it is essential to decide the style of the game first before purchasing a table tennis blade that matches your game.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right table tennis paddles:
Handle Type
Mostly players go for the handle of their preference, although there are a few rules of thumb that can help you in choosing one. Straight ping pong paddles give the best flexibility and are the easiest to flip while hitting the ball on a ping pong table. Hence, these are popular amongst players who like to flip the ping pong blade. On the other hand flared ping pong paddles are for players who prefer to maintain a loose grip. Another most popular handle style is the anatomical ping pong paddles also known as double flared handles. These paddles come with a flared handle with a second wide part in the middle.
Penhold Table Tennis Racket
Penhold table tennis blades are usually for the Asian style of table tennis game. These paddles hugely differ in the grip and the blade itself. The Japanese table tennis blades come with a longer and narrower head and thicker handles. Whereas the Chinese one are designed with rounder thinner blades with rounded handle.
Table Tennis Blade Composition
Thin slices of wood veneers are put together to make the table tennis blade. Some of these blades come with an outer laminate coating of carbon fiber. Apart from this, there are composite blades too that come with one or more carbon fiber, graphite, or other synthetic material layers. These composite blades are lighter, faster, and stronger as compared to the blades made of wood and are better for hitting the ball on a ping pong table. However make sure to find a blade made of 85 percent wood.
Just remember the above mentioned points while buying ping pong paddles and you can enjoy table tennis on your ping pong table for years.
