The Waldner 600 is a great choice for beginners as well as more ambitious recreational players and for use in school sports. This table tennis racket from Donic-Schildkröt features good wood and grip quality, giving an overall impression of high value. The smooth Donic inverted rubber comes with a 1.8 mm thick sponge to achieve a balanced ratio of power and ball control. Good rubber quality and a not-too-thin sponge are essential criteria for transferring your spin and all other playing techniques to the ball. The Waldner 600 offers a very convincing setup in its price range, especially since this TT racket is also equipped with PLS technology: a well-visible hollow chamber through the transparent lenses reduces the weight in this area, consequently shifting the balance point towards the head. This leads to improved ball acceleration, meaning faster ball speed with the same swing and effort. Additionally, the PLS system provides very pleasant feedback to the player's hand. The Waldner line is dedicated to the legendary Donic player and multiple world champion Jan-Ove Waldner. The Waldner 600 is the entry-level model in this racket series at a very attractive price. Donic is now one of the world's well-known top brands in the table tennis competition segment, while the German traditional brand Schildkröt has been around for over 100 years and is considered the inventor of the table tennis ball.
