Pongori PPR100 Table Tennis Set, 2 Bats and 3 Balls

A complete table tennis set for people who just want to play. Two bats and three balls, straight out of the box and onto the table, whether that table is in a sitting room, an office canteen or under a tree in the compound.

The PPR 100 bat is built for beginners rather than club players. The blade is moulded from talc-filled polypropylene instead of thin plywood, which means two things: it forgives you when you catch the ball off-centre, and it does not snap the first time somebody drops it. The playing surface is a lightly grippy SEBS coating, so rallies last longer and you can start experimenting with spin once you are ready.

Because the blade is plastic rather than wood, the set handles damp air and outdoor use far better than a traditional bat. Leave it on the veranda and it will still play the next morning.

The handle is straight and moulded with a wood grain texture for grip. The three balls are 40+ one-star, in the standard orange.

In the box

• 2 x PPR 100 bats, one red face and one black face
• 3 x 40+ one-star table tennis balls, orange
