Tips for choosing Shoes for Table Tennis (part 3)


By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



The table tennis player's movement in playing is an irregular movement. We move back and forth, from left to right, then stop in a swinging position and so on depending on the direction of the ball from the opponent. The function of the shoes in this movement is very crucial.

How come? If the shoes we wear are not comfortable, let alone slippery, apart from interfering with acceleration, there is also a very high risk of injury and can cause players to fall due to slipping.

In order for our feet to stop where we want them to, the grip of the shoe is very important. The key is in the quality of the shoes with a good outsole. If the grip of the shoes is strong, our footing on the floor will also be very strong so that we don't slip easily. The sound of shoes squeaking besides being beautiful to hear when we play, usually indicates that the grip of the shoes is good.

Every table tennis shoe has traction, but it varies depending on the quality of the shoe. For players who already have quite high flying hours, the outsole grip of the shoe must be really considered so that it can support game performance.

Shoes with outsole made of raw rubber can be recommended for us to choose, because it has the characteristics of a mat/non-slippery on the floor.

(End).


Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
