Not for tournaments or whatever, but I used to play it a fair bit, though that was quite a few years ago.

any hints on buying a bat?
links would be great

I can't remember what make mine was, just that it had a German-sounding name that began with an "S". It had quite smooth rubber on both sides, as opposed to the fairly knobbly/pimpled surfaced bats I saw some people play with, but I wouldn't have traded it for 10 of them.
Ah, apparently it was
Schildkrot.
This 1 looks rather similar to the 1 I had, except my handle was straight instead of flared.
I'd also recommend actually going into somewhere to buy 1 rather than buying online, so you can actually see what they feel like in your hand. It can really put you off your game if you try playing with 1 that doesn't feel right for
you, i.e. shape of handle, or the weight of the bat.
