What kind of racket should table tennis players choose for fast break?

Fast break is the traditional style of China table tennis team. Players who use this style of play usually use a front rubber sponge bat or a back rubber sponge bat. World champion Liu is the best player in this style of play.

Features of fast-break play: 1) Fast hitting rhythm, trying to grab the rising point and the highest point of the ball on the table. 2) The hitting range is small, and explosive force and borrowing power are mostly used.

Selection principle of racket: In order to improve the explosiveness and suddenness of small moves, a heavier racket is usually selected first. The weight of the racket bottom plate covered with sponge glue on one side should be about 95g, and the weight of the racket bottom plate covered with sponge glue on both sides should be lighter, generally below 90g.

Selection skills of racket:

1) backplane. In order to improve the speed of the ball, the fast break requires the hitting arc to be as low and flat as possible, so the technology of less friction and more hitting is adopted to make the ball leave the board faster, such as fast, fast pull, fast break, bounce and smash. This requires the sponge to be soft and thin, and the bottom plate has a firm sense of impact, so athletes generally choose a seven-layer plate or a thick bottom plate with a thickness of 6.5 mm or more.

2) rubber sleeve. In order to ensure the speed of attacking the ball, fast break generally chooses positive glue with outward particles or reverse glue with medium surface viscosity, short particles and fast speed. The thickness of positive rubber sponge is 1.8-2. 1 mm, and the hardness is about 35 degrees; Anti-adhesive thickness 1.5-2.0mm, hardness of about 40 degrees.
