One bat is not enough for Singaporean table tennis player Zeng Jian when she plays a match.
Unlike most players who would bring bats of the same model, her two bats are from different brands, with her main bat more powerful than the backup.
She explained: “The feel of a bat is very important for me, and when I tested these bats, they just felt right and I know I can just pick any of them up and play right away.”
Zeng has been using a trolley bag for the last three years because it is easy to lug around.
