Description
Overview
The Avaro 3 Star Table Tennis Bat puts control ahead of everything else. With a control rating of 80 against speed 50 and spin 35, it is the bat you hand to a student who has just picked up the game and needs rallies to last.
A poplar plywood blade with 1.5 mm sponge keeps the ball slower off the face, so beginners have time to set up the next shot. If your players outgrow it, the 5 Star in the same Avaro range adds pace and spin.
Key benefits
- Longer rallies for learners thanks to a control rating of 80.
- Slower, more forgiving rebound from the thinner 1.5 mm sponge.
- Consistent feel across a class set with a poplar plywood blade.
- Easy to buy in numbers for PE cupboards and common rooms.
Who it's for
This is the bat for primary and intermediate PE, school lunchtime tables, holiday programmes and club beginner nights. Its forgiving rebound means fewer balls on the floor and more time actually playing.
Experienced players who want to hit through opponents will find it slow. Point them at the 5 Star instead, or browse the full table tennis bats category for other options.
Care, safety and set-up
Clean the rubber with a slightly damp cloth and dry it before it goes back in the cupboard. Store bats flat in a case so the poplar blade does not chip on table edges or warp in heat.
Quantity pricing applies on class sets, and schools can request a quote or ask about funding packages for a full table tennis fit-out.
Frequently asked questions
Which Avaro bat should a beginner start with?
Start with the 3 Star. Its control rating of 80 and slower speed rating of 50 make it easier to keep the ball on the table.
What is the difference between the 3 Star and 5 Star?
The 3 Star uses poplar plywood with 1.5 mm sponge for control. The 5 Star uses walnut plywood with 1.8 mm sponge and rates higher for speed and spin.
