World’s Most Expensive Pro Racket [$500]

[@samhendel2358]

Challenge: Recreate the table covered with rubbers but use pimples (and the coolest would be if you alternate between short and long pips to see if there is much of a difference) Love the videos!

[@XCSme]

Hmm, that should actually act similarly to a normal table, because pips just return the ball without reversing the rotation (as inverted).

The smash racket is probably your best creation to date. It’s a good first racket. I wouldn’t spend money on the sensei. For around £150 you can definitely build a very good custom racket.

[@lunachen6286]

very true for 150 u can build a very solid pro set up

[@jussttg]

not really, as only 1 rubber in pro section is 30-50e, blades starts from 100e till 250e. Anything fast with carbon or other speed material is over 300e so you would need 200-300e for a solid custom racket.

[@okami5423]

@@jussttgThat's just not true. You can build yourself a really good custom setup with around 150 bucks. Since they are also marketing the Sensei at beginners, it's just not the best idea to go for it instead of a custom racket at the same price.

[@jussttg]

@@okami5423 what are you speaking about... pro set, not a good custom. tell me exactly what rubbers and blade you getting for 150?

[@okami5423]

@@jussttgI wasn't refering to pro setups, I know thats what the first guy said, I just meant that the demographic the Sensei racket is marketed towards is able to get a superior setup for the same amount of money. Sorry for the misunderstanding

This the same as in Golf. Professional can beat others using old wooden clubs while the others get to have the latest up to date clubs. The price of the product doesn't make results better without the skill.

[@munteanucatalin9833]

@@wekkimeif7720 It is plain out impossible to learn table tennis without a decent rocket. If you use a cheap one, you will develop bad habits that will takes ages to get rid off. Buy a decent rocket that feels the most comfortable to you in the $20-$50 price range, then proceed to learn table tennis. After 1 year, you will be better tailored to want you are shopping for.

[@weibrot6683]

​@@wekkimeif7720 tbh giving amateurs the latest up to date professional equipment is gonna make them play worse, give me the choice between 10-14 year old amateur equipment and the stuff tour pros use and i'm gonna pick the old clubs any time of the day. An amateur has completely different priorities when it comes to equipment than a pro, and it's important to know and recognise these differences. Professional equipment is designed to give the user as much control and flexibility as possible, that's about the exact opposite of what you want to give an amateur, you should give those people equipment that corrects as many of their mistakes as possible When you put me in a tabletennis match against a professional i'm gonna choose the racket that allows me to generate the least amount of spin possible, doesn't matter how much spin the opponent puts on the ball, i can at least return them

[@jmg999]

The Sensei's backhand is legit! He rips that thing, when he flips his wrist over. It's really incredible.

[@XYoukaiX]

Haven't tried it but the Sensei Racket is rather expensive for a Premade one ... I play for almost 20 years and most of my Rackets were less then this ^^V Right now I play Rasanter R42 on both sides (its on sale very often for 40€) and use my old Andro Blade which I am using for 10 years already which was also somewhere around 40€ and I'd say its not far off from a Professional Racket except for it beeing less hard then what most professionals play .... I just can't stand hard rubbers, I just changed from 34° sponge to 42° which was rather hard already as I still often hit the net as the cuve is so much lower.

[@Beregorn88]

0:50 why nobody acknowledged him succeeding?

[@TECH_LIFE_2024]

The most expensive one is Fan Zhendong zuper ZLC with Dignics 09C. It can easily create heavy top and back spins. If you choose that blade you can control every ball perfectly and make consistent shoots with more accuracy. There are many type of them from butterfly: Mizutani super zlc, Fan Zhendong super zlc, lin yun ju super zlc all of them are super professional blades.

[@andreika6681]

The most expensive MASS produced. overwise it's no limit, there are SMB manufacturers who'd make you $3000 blade if you ask for it and it'll be totally pro tt compliant

[@eylulyildiz]

Can you make a game with old 38 celluloid balls and old curl or piranja rubbers with long pips? In a way, the old unpredictable table tennis times. Some old players told me that they used to put the curl or piranja rubber in the microwave to make them even more unpredictable. It would be great if you could try that out!

[@marvingeheim8513]

to be fair it makes sense. the expensive ranket only makes sense if you have a decent amount of skill. doesnt matter how fast you want to play. if you are bad, the extra speed on the racket wont help you. you could only make a point for a professional defensive player. but that person wouldnt get any of those

You should do a challenge video with a racket in both hands.

[@michasosnowski5918]

In middle competition when you wanted the ball come back to you - you obviously put more energy into the most expensive racket. So if not for that, it would not win :) But spin is real, so thats fair.

[@SimonMeyers-f2o]

Challenge: turn one side of the table vertically 90 degrees and play a "squash ping pong" variant where the ball must hit the vertical side then the flat side

they used professional custom rackets. miikka i think used stiga clipper wood and hurricane 3 + tenergy 05 for some time? all i know about otto is he has used a timo boll spirit blade before.

Luckily I'm in a place where I can afford it but thankfully my brain did some thinking and said wtf are you doing

[@mankenybom9344]

The speed (in the racket...)... is just like money in the wallet, and horsepower in the car. ALL men (boys...?) want more than they need, I know I do. But nowadays I try to be a bit wise and realistic, that's good both for my game and my wallet.

[@sealand000]

Is that Fan Zhendong brand? Does $500 include the rubbers?

[@munteanucatalin9833]

Never pay more than $50 for a ready made racket unless you buy DHS 5002 or 6002. For more expensive rackets always buy a good blade (you have a lot of good options between $100 and $250) and rubbers that fit your style. Stiga Arctic Wood is probably the best blade for performance / price ratio and a must have for developing players regardless of style. DHS , Nittaku and Xiom offer some interesting blades option for offensive and all around players. Defensive players suffer a bit more, but Yasaka and DHS have good options especially when paired with suitable rubbers.

[@EdwardTaehoKim]

For yall who want to know what the 500$ racket was, here it is. Background info: Butterly, a pingpong stuff making company, is one of the most famous world wide. The blade itself was I think the 30th anniversary blade that costs 400 or even 450$ and the rubbers, i couldn't see clearly, but if you want to fit the 500$ budget, it's probably dignics 09 or tenergy 64 or 05. Any type of rubber provided by butterfly is good to use, but as Mikka said, you should research not only the rubber, but your playing style as well.
