Table Tennis Equipment
Professional Men use |
There is always a great deal of interest in
what blade and rubbers the professional player use. The guys at the
Mytabletennis.net forum have been compiling the list shown below,
showing professional male players, and the equipment they are supposed
to be using. Although the brand used is more often than not related to
sponsorship deals, it is still a useful guide to see what equipment is
used for different styles of players.
Keep in mind though that just because the
professional players are using something, does not mean it's appropriate
for you! These players are highly skilled, and often practice full time,
so they can adjust to equipment much better than us mere mortals! Note
also that a lot of the rubbers would have been used with speed glue,
which changes their properties significantly.
Full credit for this list is given to
Jeff(ATTC) (who initiated and compiled this list) and all the other
contributing members of the Mytabletennis.net forum. Note that this list
given below (published with permission) is still in progress, and will continue to be updated as new information
becomes available.. Please inform us of any errors or additions to this
list.
