GKI Offensive XX

A racket for beginners. Fast enough if you are just starting.

Racket weights 180 gm. Rubber appears rough on surface. Soft in feel, dry, not tacky. Has sufficient spin, more than sanwei 210, speed is not much, just ok. Control is very good, pushes are spinny, topspin is good, low trajectory, very effective in close to table and mid distance play. All in all a good racket for less price. Most shots land on table. Once you have some understanding of shots as a beginner, you can move on to this bat for further development. I strongly feel, beginners should start with other bats which have very low spin and higher speed to learn finer touches and spin shots. After that they can chose this bat for games at beginner level. It offers effective control and spin for beginners.
