Parts of a Table Tennis Racket
One of the main pieces of equipment needed to play table tennis is a racket, also referred to as a paddle or a bat. Rackets come premade and custom made. Advantages of premade rackets include lower cost and no assembly requirements. For custom rackets, the player has more options for the type of rubber used, but such rackets typically are more costly and require gluing on the rubber.
