Beginners often worry about choosing a racket. It is generally believed by laymen that expensive rackets will definitely work. Some people have to leave their rackets idle because they are not used to it, and some people will "not" play for months after changing their rackets. In fact, the most expensive is not necessarily the best, but also combined with their own playing habits, racket configuration is reasonable and can give full play to their own strengths, in order to be handy. There are two common table tennis boards in the market: imported brands and domestic brands. The top floor of imported famous brands is generally exquisite in workmanship and stable in performance. Some of them have been recognized and recommended by the transnational table tennis association, and their prices are high, so they are used by professional players. There are many kinds of domestic brand shoe soles, and the performance of high-grade sole plates of some famous brands and joint venture products has also been greatly improved. The middle and low-grade bottom plates are reasonable in price and suitable for mass consumption.

1, structurally divided into: (1) single layer (2) multi-layer (usually 3-9 layers) materials are pure wood and composite materials, with special fibers and carbon fibers added) Performance introduction:

(1) Single-layer pure wooden board is soft and easy to control, with few varieties, and few people are suitable for playing in the middle plate. (2) Multi-layer pure wood boards and carbon fiber boards are commonly used with five or seven layers, and the five layers are generally about 70g lighter, which is often used to stick rubber sponges on both sides. The weight of the seven-layer board is slightly more than 85g, and rubber sponge can be attached on one side or both sides. When choosing, you can choose according to your personal feel and usage habits.

2. From the appearance, it can be divided into: horizontal plate and straight plate, and straight plate can be divided into Chinese and Japanese.

3. From the performance can be divided into four; (1) Offensive ball board (2) All-round ball board (3) Defensive ball board (4) Inverted offensive ball board (with different hardness on both sides)

The hitting degree of the ball board is divided into four grades: hard, hard, soft and soft. Generally speaking: [1] hard board: fast hitting force, high lethality and poor controllability, suitable for near-middle-stage fast break combined with loop ball play [2] hard board: fast hitting force, high lethality and good hand feeling, suitable for near-middle-stage fast break combined with loop ball play [3] soft board: both offensive and control, easy to launch, strong impact and soft board. Soft to cosco Taiwan Province's ordinary ball board suitable for defensive play is mainly manifested in speed (1-10) and control (1-10) (from low to high). Generally marked on the surface of the bottom plate or on the outer packaging, which can be selected according to personal play and usage habits. Generally speaking, players who like to play fast prefer hard floors. Players with better overall technical control often choose soft chassis. Although the performance of different brands and models is the same, the flexibility in use is still different, and the performance of the same brand and model is similar, so pay attention when purchasing.

2. Sponges that are common in the sponge market are also divided into two categories: imported and domestic. It used to be easy to distinguish between appearance and feel. Imported sponge has good elasticity, uniform thickness, light weight, stable quality and slightly soft hand feel. The loop ball rotates strongly and the line is standardized. Domestic sponges are heavier in weight, slightly different in elasticity and slightly poor in hand feel. The curling ball goes up and down a little (as the saying goes, it's a thief). Professional players in China usually use domestic sponges for forehand and imported sponges for backhand. However, the appearance and performance of many joint venture brands are close to those of imported products, and it is generally difficult to distinguish them. 1, commonly used sponges are divided into high-density foam, medium density sponges and low density sponges according to their structures. 2. Commonly used sponges are divided into 30-55 degrees (from soft to hard) according to hardness, and the thickness is generally between 0.3 and 2.3 mm. Sponges produced by different manufacturers sometimes have the same degree, but their elasticity is still different. Pay attention when buying. 3. Commonly used sponges are divided into reverse rubber sponges (with reverse rubber patches) and positive rubber sponges (with positive rubber patches) according to their uses. Note: The hardness standard of Shuangxi brand sponge is different from other sponges.

Third, there are many domestic brands in the rubber market, and most foreign products are rubber. From the performance alone, some famous brand rubber products produced in China, such as Double Happiness, Friendship and Universal, have reached the advanced level in the world, especially in terms of rotation performance. It's just that the process level is poor and the appearance quality of individual products is unstable. Professional players in China usually use domestic glue for forehand and imported glue for backhand. From the appearance, it can be divided into reverse glue (particles inward) and forward glue (particles outward).

1, anti-glue can be divided into ordinary anti-glue and anti-arc glue. (1) There are many brands and models produced by different manufacturers at home and abroad, and the product performance indicators are generally marked on the outer packaging. There are 3-4 common items, such as speed, rotation, control, forward thrust, etc. (from weak to strong, marked as10-100). The common anti-adhesive friction is large, the hitting rotation changes greatly and it is easy to control. However, due to the different materials used by various manufacturers, the length and size of rubber particles are different, and the thickness of the bottom skin is also different, so the performance is still very different. It is generally believed that coarse particles with bottom skin have strong rotation and fine particles with bottom skin have short speed. The choice should be decided according to your own usage habits. Generally, do not change different brands and models of rubber frequently, so as not to damage the feel. (2) Arc-proof rubber is a special kind of arc-proof rubber. It is characterized by smooth rubber surface, low friction and weak rotation. When hitting a ball with a soft sponge, the ball will sink slightly and change. As the name implies, it is mainly used to prevent hoop balls.

2. Pre-rubber is divided into raw rubber and long rubber. There are many brands and models produced by different manufacturers at home and abroad, and the product performance indicators are generally marked on the outer packaging. There are 3-4 common items, such as: speed rotation control front thrust, etc. (marked as10-100 from weak to strong) (1) Positive glue: hard and opaque surface. The hitting speed is fast and slightly heavy, with rotation change. Give priority to fighting, easy to control, suitable for fast attack near Taiwan. (2) Raw rubber: the surface is smooth and bright. . The hitting speed is fast and slightly heavy, the rotation change is small and the control is slightly poor. The longer the particles, the weaker the rotation, and the raw rubber with long particles has some strange properties similar to long rubber. (3) Long glue: the hitting speed is slow, anti-rotating, and the performance is weird. The finer and longer the particles, the weirder the performance. Mostly used for defense or offensive and defensive conversion. Note: Rubber produced by different manufacturers has different properties due to different materials and manufacturing processes.

4. Rubber sleeve: The manufacturer produces it according to different requirements, with stable performance and convenient replacement, which is widely used by professional players.

V. Common collocation of sponge and rubber (recommended) 1, anti-rubber: Generally, sponge with thickness of 1.8-2.3 mm is selected, and the total thickness of sponge and rubber is required to be less than 4mm in formal competition. Commonly used hardness should be between 40 degrees and 55 degrees. It is generally believed that the thin sponge is easy to penetrate and can exert the elasticity of the bottom plate. It is easy to control and the speed in the station is fast. The performance of intermediate platform is poor. Thick sponge eats the ball well, is easy to make rotation, and has good performance in the middle table. Sponge has low hardness, small elasticity and easy control. Sponge has high hardness, high speed, high elasticity and great lethality, but it is not easy to control. 2. Arc-proof rubber: Sponge with thickness of 1.8-2.3 mm and hardness of 30-35 degrees is generally selected. 3. Positive glue: Sponge with thickness of 1.8-2.2 mm and hardness of 30-40 degrees is generally selected. 4. Raw rubber: Sponge with thickness of 1.5-2.2 mm and hardness of 30-40 degrees is generally selected. However, some players also have sponges around 1.0mm, which sink when blocking the loop ball. 5. Long rubber: sponge with a thickness of 0.3-1.5 mm is generally selected. The hardness is 35-40 degrees. But I've also seen the use of sponges. .

Six, the bottom plate, sponge rubber commonly used with:

1, near-table fast attack style: optional attack bottom plate, positive glue, sponge thickness 1.8-2.2 mm, hardness 30-40 degrees. Features: fast speed, no eating, easy control of the ball in the table. Mainly hitting the ball, the arc of pulling the ball is low. 2. Close-table fast attack combined with loop ball play: optional offensive base plate, anti-glue, sponge thickness 1.8-2.3 mm, hardness 40-45 degrees. Features: fast speed, belt

Rotating and changing, more people are used. I am used to playing the main method, and the hardness of the sponge should be slightly soft, which is convenient to exert the elasticity of the bottom plate and the speed in the table is fast. If you are used to playing loop ball, you should choose a sponge with slightly harder hardness to pull the ball.

3, both offensive and defensive play: optional all-round floor, anti-sticking, thickness 1.8-2.3 mm sponge, hardness 40-45 degrees. Features: fast speed, rotating change and easy control. More people use it.

4. Middle platform arc ring combined with fast attack: optional attack floor, anti-glue, sponge thickness 1.8-2.3 mm, hardness 40-50 degrees. Features: fast speed, strong rotation of arc coil and great lethality.

5, defensive play: optional defensive floor, anti-sticking, thickness 1.8-2.3 mm sponge, hardness 40-45 degrees. Features: Easy to rotate and control. It is generally believed that the bottom plate is hard, the ball speed is fast, the lethality is great and it is difficult to control. The bottom plate is soft and easy to control, which is suitable for the main power. Thick sponge, deep ball and strong rotation. Sponge is thin, easy to play the performance of the bottom plate, easy to control, and fast in the table. The hardness of the sponge should match the different bottom plates. Generally speaking, players with big movements should choose a sponge that is slightly Microsoft, which is conducive to eating the ball and easy to exert their strength. Players with small movements should choose a slightly harder sponge, which is easy to control. Different types of soleplates and sponges with different hardness should be selected. When playing ball, it is advisable to feel that you can hear the sound of the floor without shaking your hands. Note: If your playing style is fixed, you'd better always use the same brand and model of base plate. Sponge and rubber should also be relatively stable to avoid damaging their long-term sense of touch. If you have been using the molding board and never used the brand floor, you should appropriately reduce the flexibility of the floor when choosing the floor, that is, choose the all-round or defensive floor, and don't choose the floor according to the habits of professional athletes. If you still feel elastic, you can appropriately reduce the hardness or thickness of the sponge until you feel comfortable. I hope everyone can have their own good weapons.
