Description
Overview
The Avaro 1 Star Table Tennis Bat is the entry point in the Avaro range of table tennis bats. It pairs a poplar plywood blade with a 1.5 mm sponge, and its ratings tell the story: control 90, speed 40, spin 30. That balance keeps rallies going for beginners instead of sending the ball off the end of the table.
This is a recreational bat. It suits students learning the strokes, lunchtime tables and staff-room games, not competitive club play where players want more speed and spin from thicker sponge.
Key benefits
- Long rallies for beginners, thanks to a control rating of 90.
- Forgiving on off-centre hits with a thin 1.5 mm sponge over a poplar plywood blade.
- Modest speed and spin ratings keep the ball on the table during PE lessons.
- Sold singly, so a school can replace one damaged bat without buying a full set.
Who it's for
Choose this bat for PE programmes, intermediate and secondary school common rooms, holiday programmes and family games rooms. Its control-first ratings mean new players get the ball back over the net more often, which keeps them engaged.
If you are setting up a table from scratch, the Avaro 1 Star Set bundles bats with balls and is the simpler buy. Buy this single bat when you already have a table and need spares or replacements in quantity.
Care, safety and set-up
Store bats flat or in a case away from direct heat so the plywood blade stays true. Wipe the rubber with a damp cloth after dusty sessions and let it dry before putting it away.
Quantity pricing applies on many lines, so a school ordering a class set of bats can add them to a quote and ask the customer-service team to price the fit-out. Covered by the store's 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a competition bat?
No. The Avaro 1 Star is a recreational bat with a control rating of 90 and low speed and spin ratings. Competitive players will want a faster bat with thicker sponge.
Is it sold singly or as a set?
This listing is for one bat. For bats and balls together, look at the Avaro 1 Star Set.
Is it suitable for school PE?
Yes. The thin sponge and control-first ratings suit students learning strokes, and buying singly makes it easy to replace individual bats in a class set.
