How to choose a table tennis bat?

Before choosing a wooden racket, you must first determine your grip. The horizontal stroke is generally suitable for players who are tall, have a large moving range and are biased; Backhand is more suitable for players with quick response, variety and flexible body. From the material point of view, the racket face materials on the market at present are: composite board, all-wood board, cork plus carbon fiber, all-wood plus carbon fiber, all-wood plus titanium fiber and so on. The board on the racket face is divided into several layers. Mr. Song, a salesperson of the table tennis equipment store, told the reporter: "Now the racket faces are generally from three floors to more than ten floors, and there are also single boards, but the quantity is small and the price is relatively expensive. People often use five floors. " As for the handle, there are light and heavy points. "The heavy handle is suitable for offensive players, the light handle is suitable for defensive players, and the center of gravity is suitable for all-round play. Now there are not only hollow grips on the market, but also grips with adjustable center of gravity, which is a good choice for beginners, especially those who have not yet fixed the style of play. "

About rubber selection

Except that the cheaper racket is a finished racket, it is generally necessary to choose another rubber racket. Rubber can be divided into positive rubber, reverse rubber and long rubber, and its choice is inseparable from the gameplay. "Positive glue particles face outwards, and the height-diameter ratio of particles is not greater than 1 to 1. It can hit the ball stably and quickly, and it can also cause a certain rotation. It is not easy to eat, and it is suitable for near-table fast break. The anti-sticking particles face inward, and the glossy surface faces outward. High viscosity, high friction, easy to cause strong rotation. Suitable for players who play curling and chopping, it is also the most commonly used rubber at present. Long rubber also has particles facing outward, but the particles are long and soft, and the rotation change is very strange. Generally, it depends on the incoming ball to determine the rotation intensity of the return ball, resulting in reverse rotation, which is difficult for the opponent to adapt. Users should have comprehensive skills and changeable play. Novices should still choose conventional rubber sheets such as reverse glue or positive glue. " Mr. Song said.

About choosing sponge

The last thing to say is sponge. The hardness and thickness are mainly investigated. "The thickness of the sponge is generally between 0.5 mm and 2.4 mm, and the hardness is between 30 degrees and 50 degrees. Generally, the harder and thicker the sponge, the greater the elasticity and the faster the hitting speed, but it does not mean that the harder and thicker the better, so that not only the racket is too heavy, but also the elasticity is too great to control. Novices suggest choosing a back rubber sponge with a thickness of 1.8 to 2.0 mm and a hardness of about 40 degrees or a front rubber sponge with a hardness of about 35 degrees. However, at present, most of the rubber sleeves sold in the market are sponge and rubber, which is convenient for model matching, and the general sales staff will provide free pasting service when selling. "

The choice of table tennis bat depends first on the method of holding the bat. According to the grip method, it is generally divided into two types: straight shot and horizontal shot.

When table tennis came into being, Europeans imitated the grip of tennis racket and basically adopted the horizontal racket. Later, table tennis developed to Asia, resulting in a direct grip racket. The choice of racket is closely related to factors such as playing style and physical condition. A tall player, a striding battalion commander, has a wide range of body movements and has obvious advantages in choosing a platform. Choosing to hit horizontally can boldly attack and give full play to the strengths of strength. For smaller athletes, the platform protection area is small, and the scope of COSCO Taiwan Province is not as big as that of tall athletes. However, short people are quick-witted and flexible, especially when dealing with small balls on the stage. Choosing backhand can effectively play its advantages such as diversity and flexible wrist movements.

How to choose a table tennis bat, after we have determined our grip, we must choose what kind of rubber sponge bat to use, which is closely related to the style of play we want to form:

(1) Positive glue sponge bat. Positive glue is rubber with rubber particles facing upwards and the same height and diameter. This is the most traditional racket for China athletes. In the past, Zhuang Zedong, Jiang Jialiang, and other world champions used plastic to sweep the sea. Liu Ye, the champion of the 26th Atlanta Olympic Games, beat off the best player with a plastic sponge. It is characterized by good elasticity, steady hitting and fast speed, which is suitable for players who are close to the table and attack quickly. It is not easy to eat all kinds of spins, and it is precisely because of the low viscosity that it is not easy to make strong spins. Therefore, although we can't pull out the powerful loop ball, we can take advantage of the rotating ball and forehand volley in the processing table. And because the glue ball is very fast, it can be killed in one board and avoid stalemate. If you think your wrist is flexible, but your arms and waist are not strong enough, you'd better choose a rubber racket that wins with speed.

(2) Raw rubber sponge fly swatter. Raw rubber is rubber with upward particles and a diameter greater than the height. It is characterized by the ball sinking and weak rotation, which is suitable for players near the table. Wang Tao, whom we are familiar with, uses raw rubber in backhand. Because raw rubber can reduce rotation, it is especially easy to control the ball. Especially when playing short ball in Taiwan, backhand is more handy. Xiang, Geng and others all use backhand raw rubber to take the initiative in a short time and save physical strength. Wang Tao's backhand play has now become a must in the world, and a group of female players represented by Hyun Jeong-hwa and Park Jeong-ai in South Korea are even more unique. The use of raw rubber for straight boxing is a great threat to getting started quickly and preemptively.

(3) Anti-sticking sponge racket: Anti-sticking refers to a kind of rubber, which sticks downwards and has a large sticking surface upwards. This is the most common racket now. Almost 65,438+000 European players use this rubber, and nearly 80% Asian players use it. The spinning power of the anti-glue ball is very strong, so players who mainly play with spinning (such as curling and chopping) must be familiar with this skill. Players such as Waldner, persson, Seve, Ma * * *, and players such as Gating, Wang Tao and Kong who combine fast break with curveball are all anti-sticking. Of course, reverse glue is easy to spin, easy to eat and difficult to master.

(4) defensive sponge bat. Generally speaking, the defensive technique is mainly chopping, and it also belongs to rotating play. Therefore, the backhand is full of flowers. For example, Ding Song's backhand uses positive glue, and the cut ball is between rotating and non-rotating. The strength of rotation changes with the change of the incoming ball, which makes the opponent's judgment often wrong. Chen Xinhua backhand uses long rubber, which is rubber with upward particles and a diameter smaller than the height. The rotation changes greatly. The other side pulls more and more balls, and the ball sinks, so it is not easy for the other side to make full use of its own strength. Offensive players often use defensive sponge rackets to make up for the lack of backhand. For example, Cai Zhenhua backhand with defensive sponge, similar to anti-sticking. The hitting power is weakened and the sinking is erratic, which makes it difficult for the opponent to judge according to the routine, especially when reading the ball in an arc, so it is called "anti-arc glue". For beginners, you usually take the racket of your favorite athlete as a model for beginners, and make corresponding changes with the development of your own technology and your own characteristics. This is a common way to choose a racket.

1 How to maintain the table tennis bat?

1. Avoid the sponge and rubber of the heated table tennis bat from aging easily, and reduce its viscosity and elasticity, commonly known as "death". The board is also easy to deform after being heated, which affects the accuracy of hitting the ball.

2. Prevent abnormal external forces from rubbing, bumping and squeezing to hit the ball with correct actions, and the racket will not bump the table. When the racket is not in use, it is best to put it in a special racket case, and at the same time put a flat plate made of wood or plastic in the racket case to minimize the influence of external force on the racket.

3. Keep the racket surface clean. Once there is dirt on the rubber surface, the viscosity will be greatly reduced. At this point, you can gently wipe the glue racket with a clean cloth and water. Wipe the ball with a soft cloth after the anti-adhesive racket has finished playing. Be sure to avoid scratching the rubber surface, and finally stick a layer of nylon paper or a thin soft plastic sheet on the surface.

4. Avoid contact between sponge and rubber. Rubber products will be deformed and deteriorated once they come into contact with gasoline, so special attention should be paid to it.
