Which Donic Schildkrot bat fits your level?

Most Donic bats carry a level number. The Level 400 is made to help beginners learn, the Level 600 bats are allround bats, and the Legends 1000 is built for play with spin and high speed. Here is how the bats line up.

• Learning the game: the Waldner Level 400 is a beginner bat with a 5-ply blade and ITTF-approved rubber. The Waldner 500 is for beginners and intermediate players and has the AVS system, two soft spacers that damp vibration.
• Allround control: the Waldner 600 has a 1.8 mm sponge for learning all techniques with spin and control. The Sensation 500, 600 and 700 add the Anti Shock Grip, a cushioned handle with a foam overgrip that absorbs sweat.
• Attack: the Top Team 900 has a 2.0 mm sponge. The Legends 1000 FSC and the Carbotec 7000 both use a 2.3 mm sponge; the Carbotec has an all-carbon blade for a fast attacking game.

Balls for training and for longer rallies

The T-One and 2T Club balls are hard training balls in boxes of six. Donic made the 2T Club harder and more durable, for club training and school sport. For advanced recreational play, the Avantgarde and Prestige balls come three to a box.

Tables, nets and other games

The Spacetec indoor table has a built-in net, a 16 mm playing surface and four twin wheels, two of them steerable. Its storage size is 152.5 x 69 x 163 cm. The Classic Table Tennis Net uses length-adjustable holders with a screw fastening. Donic Schildkrot also makes a two-player badminton set and a pickleball set with two wood paddles and indoor and outdoor balls.

If you are starting out, pick the Waldner Level 400 and a box of T-One balls, then move to a Sensation bat once your strokes are steady. See every bat in all rackets and the full table tennis range.
