Racquet class describes the general purpose of the product and its ability to perform various table tennis techniques. The general purpose is clear already from the name of the class: for example, those who have not yet held rackets in their hands are best suited for
1 * models, players with some experience playing regularly can pay attention to
2 *, etc. As for tricks, the more stars, the wider the available "arsenal": for example, on "one-star" models, only imitations of undercuts and top spins are available, "two-star" models allow you to perform these techniques with medium strength, and powerful undercuts and top -spins are available starting from
3*.
It is worth noting that the term “professional” in this case is somewhat arbitrary: the class is indicated for the finished racquet (see “Type”), while professional athletes prefer to collect equipment, choosing their own base and lining. Therefore,
the 5 * marking corresponds to the most advanced class among ready-made rackets, but this class is more often designed for experienced amateurs than for representatives of "big sports".
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 racquet. High speed values are extremely important for an attacking style of play.
