Table tennis is all about adjustments and precision. Players adapt to the style and spin of their opponents. Even beginners quickly learn to adjust their game to counter opponents. As you get better, you'll discover your own preferences in grips, style of play, and strokes. There are many different ones table tennis bats to select from. Most players change a table tennis bat when they get better. Choosing a new paddle can be confusing. Heemskerk has designed special table tennis bats for different playing styles.

As you move from beginner to advanced, it's time to take the next step. There are a few more choices for this. Some rubbers have a lot of spin, some have a lot of control, some are fast and some are slow. For advanced players we recommend choosing rubbers and a blade with good control, but slightly faster than beginner paddles.
Because your technique is still developing, it's important not to choose something too quickly. The extremely fast rubbers and blades require good technique to control the ball. Otherwise you will make many unnecessary mistakes.

Table tennis rubbers collect dust, powder, sweat and other dirt. If your rubbers get too dirty, they lose their grip. The ball then slides off the rubbers more easily and it becomes more difficult to give a lot of spin. You have to clean your rubbers.
The cheapest way to keep your bat clean is to use a little water and a paper towel or cloth. Wipe the surface clean and the rubber dries quickly. Do not use too much water, because then the rubbers and the bat will get too wet, which is not good.
With a little water and a quick wipe, you can remove most of the dust and dirt from your rubbers. Do this after each play session.
