Playing style

The style of play for which the racket is designed. For each playing style, optimal indicators of speed, spin and control (see below); The specific values of these characteristics may vary, but the general trend in models of the same style is usually clearly visible.

— Attacking. The attacking style of play requires high speed - it is this parameter that, as a rule, dominates the characteristics of rackets of this style.

— Defensive. When playing in a defensive style, the speed of the ball is relatively low, which is compensated by the abundance of technical elements such as spins and cuts. Accordingly, “defensive” rackets emphasize control (and some spin) and are also designed to absorb high ball speed (in case the opponent prefers an attacking style).

— Universal. A style of play that combines attacking and defensive elements. As a rule, all-purpose rackets have approximately equal speed and control.

Each style has its specializations. For example, attacking rackets may be designed for maximum speed - or a combination of slightly lower speed with an increased degree of control; in universal models, the ratio between speed and spin depends on which direction the emphasis in the design of the product is shifted - towards attack or defence; and so on.

Also, note that a certain style may include not only ready...-made rackets but also bases(see “Product type”).

Speed

Table tennis rackets have 3 main practical characteristics: speed, spin and control. The general class of the product, the style of play (see above), the available techniques, the requirements for the player's skills, etc. depend on their values and ratio. One of the most popular designation options is on a hundred-point scale; This scale is also used in our catalogue.

The speed indicator describes how fast the ball will move after contact with the racket. High-speed values are very important for an attacking style of play.

Spin

Table tennis rackets have 3 main characteristics: speed, spin and control. The general class of the product, the style of play (see above), available techniques, requirements for player skills, etc. depend on their values and ratio. One of the most popular designation options is on a hundred-point scale; This scale is also used in our catalogue.

The higher the spin number, the more the ball will spin with the corresponding hit and the better the racket is suitable for various spinning techniques.

Control

Table tennis rackets have 3 main practical characteristics: speed, spin and control. The general class of the product, the style of play (see above), available techniques, requirements for player skills, etc. depend on their values and ratio. One of the most popular designation options is on a hundred-point scale; This scale is also used in our catalogue.

Control describes the overall handling of a racket. Roughly speaking, this is a parameter of how easily it can be used to give the tennis ball exactly the speed, direction of flight and rotation that the athlete wants to provide. High values on the control scale will be comfortable regardless of the level of the player and the style of play; however, increasing the speed/rotation hurts control, as a “faster” or “spinning” racket is usually more demanding on the accuracy of movements. Therefore, many models for professionals and experienced amateurs, usually, are distinguished by a low degree of controllability, and “beginner” rackets, on the contrary, have high control parameters and low speed/spin.

Adjustable gravity centre

The ability to change the overall balance of the racket by moving the balance point (centre of gravity) closer to or further from the end of the handle. In this way, you can adjust the product to your own preferences and playing style, and even quickly reconfigure the racket depending on the situation — many models allow you to change settings within a couple of minutes. Adjustment, usually, is carried out by rearranging the ballast placed in the handle. There is also an adjustment of the gravity centre of high-class rackets 4 * and 5 * (see "Class").

Weight

The total weight of the racket or base (see "Product type"). Usually, in the first case, the weight values are in the range of 140 – 180 g; occasionally there are lighter models, mainly these are rackets of the "beginner" class 1 * (see above). For most bases, this figure is 50 – 100 g.

In general, lighter rackets are considered better suited for beginner players — in particular, light weight contributes to good control. Trained professionals can use more "weighty" equipment. In addition, it is believed that heavy rackets are better suited for the attacking style of play (see above), while light rackets are more convenient in defence. Anyway, the choice of weight depends on personal preferences: the racket should not seem either too light or too heavy.
