Heemskerk Table tennis bat Vigor 1 star – Hard bat

Pleasant, the Vigor: a beginner's table tennis bat that is perfect for recreational use. With less speed than other bats, it's perfect for casual players or newcomers to the sport. The bat has studded rubber and a concave handle made of 5-layer wood.

Hardbat table tennis bat

What makes the Vigor really unique is the fact that it is a so-called Hardbat. This type of paddle has its origins in the early days of table tennis, when the sport was in its infancy and rackets were not that advanced. Characteristic of the Hardbat is the simple, but effective design: a wooden top with an ordinary profiled rubber attached to it, with the rubber studs facing outwards.

Additional control

Unlike other paddles, the Vigor does not have a sandwich layer between the blade and the rubber. This, in combination with the short pimples on the rubber, ensures strokes with less speed. But the real benefit of this is that it allows you to exert extra control. This is particularly useful when teaching a defensive style of play, where control is essential. The Vigor is not only suitable for beginners, but also for advanced players who occasionally participate in special Hardbat tournaments.

And for those who like to be prepared, the Heemskerk Vigor is also available as a handy table tennis set. Each set contains two bats and three ping pong balls, all packed in a Heemskerk bat cover.
