149 km/h. The fastest table tennis shot ever hit.
The previous record stood at 116 km/h. Otto beat it by 33 km/h with the Skill racket.
Now put it to good use. More spin, more speed and the control to keep improving. The perfect step between beginner and advanced.

Pongfinity's #1 pick for improving and intermediate players
All orders including a Skill racket will be shipped on 21st of October, when we'll have all the video greetings filmed too. Once shipped, the delivery estimation is the following:
Rackets usually come with performance claims. We wanted ours to come with actual proof. Every record was set with the exact same Skill racket you can buy here.
The previous record stood at 116 km/h. Otto beat it by 33 km/h with the Skill racket.
That's 2.5 shots every second. Emil and Miikka had just 3 attempts to keep up that pace without making a mistake.
But it's still nice knowing your racket is capable of it. Where you take the Skill from here is up to you.
"When we surveyed our community, 9 out of 10 considered themselves recreational, beginner or intermediate players. We wanted to make a racket with all the performance they need to keep improving, without the price tag of a high-end racket." – Emil
"It’s one thing to say a racket performs, it’s another to actually show it. We wanted to put its performance to a real test, and couldn’t think of a better way to do that than by trying to break world records with it." – Otto
"The blue rubber, the diamond details, even the packaging. We wanted everything to feel special from the moment you get your hands on it. Our goal was to make a racket you’re excited to own, not just excited to play with." – Miikka
We have played table tennis for over 20 years and tried just about everything along the way. Skill brings together what we’ve learned works best for improving players, so you can skip the guesswork and get straight to playing.
By combining five wood layers with two carbon fiber layers, the blade delivers great stability with the extra speed for stronger shots.
Ready for competition with a 2.1 mm sponge that provides added speed and spin. And yes, the blue rubber color is officially approved too!
Shaped to sit comfortably and naturally in your hand. The flared design gives you a secure grip that feels good even through hours of play.
Made for learning. Plenty of control and spin to learn the basics, without the extra speed that makes things harder.
Made for improving. Add more spin, attack with more speed and stay in control as you master the shots that make table tennis so much fun.
Made for competing. Our spinniest and fastest racket, giving you everything you need to play at your best.
If you’d describe yourself as a recreational, hobby, casual or intermediate player who can keep a rally going, Skill is made for you. If you're still working on keeping the ball on the table, we'd recommend starting with the Smash racket and coming back for Skill when you’re ready for the next step.
If you’re currently playing with a basic or beginner racket, you should feel a considerable difference. Skill gives you more grip, spin and speed, while still being forgiving and easy to control. Of course, how big the difference feels depends on what you’re currently playing with. If you already play with a high-end custom setup, Skill isn’t designed to be an upgrade from that.
Think of them as 3 different levels of performance. Smash gives you everything you need to start playing and improving, making it the most cost-effective choice for a beginner. Skill gives you noticeably more spin and speed while still being forgiving and easy to control, making it a great choice if you want more without stepping up to the price of advanced equipment. Sensei Elite takes another step up with a faster, more responsive setup designed for advanced and competitive players.
We built the 3-racket path so you can move up as your game does. Start with a Smash, master the Skill and become a Sensei.
The only difference is the color. The blue and red rubbers have the exact same playing characteristics, so there’s no performance difference - just pick the one you prefer. In both options, the other side has black rubber, as required for a competition-legal table tennis racket.
Yes. Skill uses ITTF-approved rubbers and is legal for official competition play. One side of the racket uses blue or red rubber (your choice) and the other uses black, following the color requirements for competition play.
Yes. Skill is a standard-size racket suitable for both adults and kids. Its ergonomic handle is designed for a comfortable, natural grip, making it pleasant to hold and play with for people of all ages. Playing level matters more than age: if you can keep a rally going, Skill is a great fit.
