how-to-pick-a-professional-ping-pong-paddle
There are several aspects to consider when choosing a professional ping pong paddle:
Choice of backboard: The backboard is the core of the paddle and its material, structure and weight will directly affect the performance of the paddle. Commonly, there are two types of blade materials: pure wood and carbon. Wooden bases have a delicate feel and good ball control, and are suitable for arc combined with fast attack; carbon bases have a harder feel and faster hitting speed, and are suitable for fast attack combined with arc.
In addition, the number of layers, thickness and weight of the soleplate will also affect its performance. The five-layer structure is softer and suitable for arc ball; the seven-layer structure is harder and suitable for fast attack.
Rubber: Rubber determines the friction and spin of the racket. The common types of rubbers are the front rubber, the back rubber, the anti-arc rubber, the raw rubber and the long rubber. The rubber is elastic and fast, suitable for close-to-table fast attack; the rubber has strong spin and is stable and easy to control, which is the first choice for beginners; the raw rubber and long rubber have unique hitting effect, which requires a certain level of technical foundation to master.
Sponge selection: The hardness and thickness of the sponge will also affect the performance of the racket. Hard sponges are more powerful but do not have much spin, while soft sponges have more spin and more stable ball control.
Individual Technical Characteristics: Choose the right racket according to your technical characteristics. Fast-attacking players can choose a lighter weight, more flexible pure wood or carbon backboard, with a positive or raw rubber and a moderately hard sponge; arc circle players are suitable for a delicate feel, good ball control of the pure wood backboard, with a counter rubber and a soft sponge.

These brands have won the favor of consumers with their excellent quality, outstanding performance and good market feedback.
