Looking for Spinny and good strong bat for smashes.

[mandy]

I’m looking for a powerful and spiny bat. Could you recommend one, preferably at a reasonable price, along with where to buy it? Please also share details about the manufacturer, the bat’s quality, average cost and any feedback from those who have purchased from the suggested sites.

 

[Ultravisitor]

To give good advise we need more information regarding your level, preferences and playing style. And what's your location?

 

[Zezima]

yeah there should be a rule that such posts get closed immediately if they don't answer the basic questions/provide a video who it is for.

Hello
If you're really new to the game I'd recommend a pre made racket (in UK then maybe from bribar)
Something like this

BRIBAR Winning Loop Table Tennis Bat

BRIBAR Winning Loop Table Tennis Bat-The original and still the best...beware of imitations! Our all time best selling bat. Ideal for the developing player.

bribartt.co.uk

If you're more advanced then you can buy/choose the rubbers and blade separately but it's gets more expensive with unlimited choice and probably starts at £60 to no upper limit.
But for folk to advise you in that direction they'd ideally need to know more about you, how long you've played, how often you play, do you have a coach, a club or are a recreational only etc etc.
Cheers 👍

I would certainly not get a premade racket,go to the STore and let them make it for you,you always get better rubbers etc and its cheaper.

 

[Julzig]

I think premades are a good choice if you are a beginner, and want something for 50bucks and lower.
Joola has a very decent racket for that said price, which performs well enough.
For a racket made for you in a store it is hard to go lower than that, and the performance is barely if at all better at that price.
If I where to go to a store here in my region and buy the cheapest blade and rubbers. I would have to pay roughly 50Euros for the same stuff you get from their 15Euro premade racket.

But if you are willing to spend 70-100Euros then yes those are better.
(Example: Xiom Allround S, Gewo Thunderball² x2 ~ 90 without discount)

The one I linked is a Tibhar blade and Friendship 729 rubbers. If brand new to TT this is fine for the first yr and it's not too expensive either 🤷‍♂️

I cannot speak for your region.
Just google your area and Table Tennis store if you want to go there personally. Often they offer assembly and even online service aswell.
The Joola premadebat I mentioned can be found on amazon for cheap. Carbon Control or something I tried it since a few kids play it here, actually decent for learning. Right now for 20Euros here for me

Hi
Bribar is a UK site and they sell a lot of stuff.
What rubbers are you using at the moment?
My usual recommendation is a 5 ply wood blade and 2 Rakza 7 rubbers in 2.0mm sponge.
This racket will have plenty of speed and spin (perhaps a bit too much until you get used to it) and should last you for years.
I've bought a lot of stuff from tt-eu and have nothing but good things to say about them.
This blade and rubbers would work

With Rakza 7 both sides
Or Tibhar Aurus FH and Aurus soft bh

Thanks for all the bat advice! I'll definitely look into those. One final thing: has anyone used www.tabletennis11.com or www.customtabletennis.co.uk along with other one suggested above. I've been checking them out online, and I'm curious if they carry the bats you suggested. Plus, if anyone's ordered custom bats from them, I'd love to hear about your experience – I'm trying to avoid any costly mistakes!

I've used both TT11 and TT-EU and both have been great.
Never tried www.customtabletennis.co.uk but given they're UK based they may be easier for you to deal with and faster delivery etc.
