When you first start learning table tennis, having the right paddle can make a big difference. I recommend choosing one with grippy rubber and a sponge at least 1.5 mm thick.
The rubber’s grip helps you generate spin, while the sponge provides some bounce. This makes it easier to learn the basic strokes and develop good habits, without having to adjust your technique to compensate for a paddle with little grip or bounce.
Below are some examples of affordable beginner paddles that you can choose from.
