If you are new to the table tennis game also called ping pong you better get acquainted with the quality of the paddles. The sponge thickness, rubber quality and aerodynamics of the paddle can help you enjoy and win during the play.
A few good paddle brands are Butterfly, Stiga, Killerspin, Donic just to name a few from the top.
Also pay attention to the triple numbering system that rates a paddle. For example xx/yy/zz denote spin/speed/handling. The higher the numbers does not always mean a better paddle. No no no. For some the spin could be lower number than the handling, but they simply feel more comfortable having better control that to give the ball a good shot accompanied by speed.
With these in mind it is always better to test a few paddles if you have a chance before you purchase. One good way to do this is attend a ping pong club for a short while, many have all sorts of ping pong paddles available for play.
But always remember sponge and rubber quality means a lot to a good ball spin effect.
Enjoy the wonderful sport of table tennis !
