The "Persson 500" table tennis bat by Donic-Schildkröt is ideal for recreational use and school sports, from beginners to committed leisure players. Good wood and handle quality, the bat is also equipped with the ITTF-approved Schildkröt Elite coating, which allows a good transfer of different playing techniques on the ball. The 1.6 mm thick sponge between the rubber and the wood achieves a very good ball control. The handle is made of cork, which conveys a pleasant grip feeling due to its high elasticity and achieves a very good sweat absorption due to its natural properties and thus ensures a safe bat movement even with sweaty hands. This Bat series is dedicated to the multiple world champion Jörgen Persson, who is also still very closely connected with Donic after his career end. Donic enjoys a worldwide reputation in the table tennis competition segment and is a supplier to many well-known top players, ia. Dima Ovtcharov, who is # 1 best player in the ITTF world rankings (status: JAN 2018). The traditional German brand Schildkröt has been established on the market for over 100 years and is considered the inventor of table tennis. Donic-Schildkröt is today the undisputed leader in leisure table tennis in Central Europe. Produced in the BSCI certified Schilodkrot factory in China under the highest social standards.
