What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Table Tennis Paddle Set
RequiredA solid beginner paddle with enough rubber thickness to feel spin. Avoid the dollar-store foam paddles — they'll teach you bad habits.
Table Tennis Balls (6-pack)
RequiredPractice balls disappear fast. Keep a bag of 40mm 3-star balls so you're never chasing one under a couch mid-drill.
Portable Table Tennis Net & Post Set
Clamps onto any table so you can practice anywhere — a kitchen table works great. Unlocks a whole new level of at-home training.
