Why Many Table Tennis Players Still Prefer Carbon Composite

    Technology and the innovations it provides are affecting almost every aspect of our life, including how we participate in our favorite sports. Ping Pong is an outstanding example, as carbon composite table tennis paddles continue to capture the interest of players. 

     

    Power players can boost the speed of their strokes by sandwiching tiny carbon sheets between the layers of plywood in a racket blade. It alters the sensation of performing fast shots and provides certain players with a new secret weapon. 

     

    If you love playing the game, try one and see what you think - more gamers are buying them as time goes on. It is best to purchase the racket rubbers separately and glue them on yourself. The ones you pick, as well as how you apply them (smooth, pimples out, pimples in), must relate to your playing style and what will complement it. 

     

    It's just another reason to think carefully about purchasing a racket from a large box retailer where you have no idea how old their inventory is. For optimal performance, table tennis rubbers have a lifespan of around a year. You'll have the best chance of receiving fresher rubbers if you buy them somewhere with a strong interest in the sport and a high inventory turnover.

     

    If you've progressed to the advanced beginner level and are starting to take more parts of the game seriously, consider monitoring the net height on your table, home, and other locations where you play. The legal height is six inches (15.25 cm). 

     

    There are several stories of players growing acclimated to playing on non-regulation height nets, and you don't want to be one of them. You'll be playing on a table with the proper height net sooner or later, and you don't want to be stuck re-learning your greatest strokes. The specialists also advise against using clip-on nets and instead go for ones that screen onto the surface.
