This Softee table tennis set contains two bats with black and red rubbers and three balls. It is a no-fuss starter set for ping pong in the garage, at a school or holiday park table, or on an outdoor concrete table in the park. If you just want to play a few games with friends or family rather than train for a league, this is the type of set to start with.

Who it suits

Recreational sets like this suit families, beginners and anyone who wants to keep a pair of bats with a table at home or in a holiday house. Table tennis is easy to learn, playable at almost any age, and rallies get going quickly even for complete beginners. Choosing an activity you enjoy is one of the best ways to stay active, as our guide on how to build a workout habit explains.

A 15-minute practice for two

  1. Forehand rally (4 min): both players hit forehands diagonally across the table at an easy pace. Count your longest rally.
  2. Backhand rally (4 min): same drill with backhands.
  3. Serves (3 min): take turns serving five times each. Aim for the ball to bounce once on your side and once on the opponent's side.
  4. Game (4 min): play to 11 points, changing serve every two points.

Simple technique tips

Hold the bat loosely, as if shaking hands with it, with your index finger resting on the back of the rubber. Stand slightly back from the table, knees soft, and stay on the balls of your feet. Short, compact strokes give more control than big swings, especially at first.

Care and lifespan

Wipe the rubbers with a damp cloth after playing to remove dust and sweat, then let them dry. Store the bats away from direct sun and heat, which harden the rubber over time. Table tennis balls dent or crack if you step on them, so keep a few spares. A dented ball bounces unpredictably and should be replaced.

What to pair it with

You need a table and a net. Clip-on net sets turn many dining or garden tables into a makeshift practice table for casual games. Extra balls are useful, especially outdoors, where they roll away easily.

FAQ

Is this set suitable for club training?

It is designed for recreational play. If you join a club and train regularly, you will soon want a bat with better rubbers and sponge for more spin and control.

Why do table tennis bats have a black and a red side?

In competition, the two sides of a bat must have different colours, usually black and red, so your opponent can see which rubber you used. Recreational bats follow the same layout.

Can I use the set on an outdoor table?

Yes. Outdoors, wind affects the light ball, so play on calm days if you can. Do not leave the bats in the rain or in strong sun, which wears out the rubbers faster.
