@huyiy Most blades are pretty similar thickness. Generally the rubbers are what makes the biggest difference. If you post a question on our website under ask the coach and give some more details we could open it up to our audience to see if we have anyone out there who has used your equipment.
@pingskills i bought a butterfly bat for about 50.. the rubber seems good but the blade itself is very thin.. i think its affecting my play.. whats your opinion on a thin blade?
@Lacross523 We recommend the PingSkills Rook which you can get off our website. Otherwise choose a good Table Tennis brand like Stiga or Butterfly (there are heaps of other good brands too!). If you are buying a second hand bat though you need to make sure the rubber is not too old. Once the rubber loses it's grip you won't be able to generate any spin which is the key to good Table Tennis. As a general rule of thumb you need to change rubber every 80 playing hours.
@Lacross523 The quality of the rubber on the bat is the most important thing. If you don't have a good grippy rubber you won't be able to generate much spin.
@azndung You sure do. You need a bat with a good grippy rubber. Once you've got a good rubber, then you need a fast brushing contact to generate lots of spin.
Thumbs up if you're a backyard player.

@pingskills how much does the type of ball and table you play on effect the quality of the spin?
