Short Review of GKI Rackets

We have used all the above rackets and based on that you can follow this golden rule :-

• If you are starting, then go with either GKI Kung Fu, GKI Green Hunt or GKI Offensive XX. You will be able to make flat shots very well, chops with decent backspin and a beginner level topspins. If you have played a bit and can make smashes, then GKI Green Hunt and GKI Offensive XX are better options.

• If you have some experience of playing and making spins, than go with either GKI Euro V or GKI Euro XX. GKI Euro XX is much better to produce topspin shots and attack. With Euro XX you will have an all round game. With Euro V, you will be able learn control as the rubbers are a bit slower than Euro XX and you will most likely do more chops with Euro V. Using Euro V, you can expect a defensive game compared to GKI Euro XX.

• If you are looking for serious learning curve then GKI Euro XX or GKI Euro Jumbo are better as these will allow you to participate in ITTF approved tournaments. Read more about GKI EURO XX: Is GKI Euro XX good racket?

• With Euro Jumbo, you can certainly hit quality strokes but for the price of GKI Jumbo, I would recommend you to go for a custom setup. You can easily get an amazing combination of Mark V rubber with many different blades.

Color: In above list, all are the rackets are Red and black color rackets except one. GKI Green Hunt is the ONLY racket to have a green and black rubber combination from GKI. If you are looking for a new style and color, then you will probably love GKI Green Hunt.

Are GKI Rackets Approved by ITTF

GKI has a variety of rackets, most of them are TTFI approved (Table Tennis Federation of India) and some of them are ITTF(International Table Tennis Federation) approved. Below is a List of GKI rackets approved by ITTF :-

My Personal Preference

My personal preference is either GKI Euro V or GKI Euro XX because these two rackets are highly durable and you can do all sort of strokes you want. I would recommend you to change your racket to a new one when you feel the speed of your strokes has improved and you need more power.

If you are playing at a professional level, then definitely you will need to discuss about professional rackets with a state/national level coach as they will customize rubbers and blade based on your playing style.
