SUMMIT Sport stocks table tennis bats from beginner-friendly options through to competition-grade carbon models, across two of the sport's best known brands. Sunflex covers the widest span of the range, from starter bats under twenty dollars through to carbon-faced models built for faster, more consistent play, while Cornilleau sits at the more technical end, with outdoor-rated bats alongside indoor competition options.
An indoor bat is designed for control and spin on a smooth indoor table, while an outdoor bat uses different rubber built to handle wind, moisture and the rougher surface of an outdoor table without losing its playing characteristics. Buying the wrong type for your table is a common mistake for beginners, so check which setting you will mostly be playing in before choosing a bat. Weight and handle shape also affect feel: a lighter bat suits faster reflex play, while a slightly heavier bat gives more power on each shot, though most beginners notice grip comfort before weight.
If you are just getting started, an entry-level Sunflex bat is a low-cost way to try the sport before spending more. Once you have settled into a grip and playing style, stepping up to a Cornilleau or a higher-tier Sunflex model gives you more spin and control as your game develops.
Pair your bat with the right table tennis balls for the standard you are playing at, and check our table tennis nets if you are setting up a table for the first time. Browsing the full range of table tennis tables alongside your bat is also worth doing if you do not already have a table sorted.
Every bat in this range ships with SUMMIT's standard guarantee, so explore the full range to find the right level and brand for your game.
