How to Choose the Right Carrom Striker for Your Style?
🛠️ Buyer's Guide: Essential Gear Checklist
Don't just buy a board; build a complete setup with the right accessories.
-
Carrom Board: Look for English Birch Plywood (minimum 12mm) for a professional, warp-free playing surface.
-
Carrom Stand: Never play on a wobble. A dedicated metal stand ensures the regulation height of 26-27 inches for stable play.
-
Carrom Coin Set: Choose a tournament-grade wooden or acrylic coin set that offers the right weight and smooth glide.
-
Carrom Striker: A 15g professional striker is crucial for control. Avoid cheap plastic strikers that can scratch and damage your pro board.
-
Carrom Powder: Use only specialized Boric Acid or Disco Powder. Never use talcum powder, as it clogs the wood grain and slows the game.
-
Carrom Board Bags / Covers: Protect your investment from dust, moisture, and scratches when not in use. Essential for long-term durability.
-
Carrom Board Pocket Nets: Keep your board tournament-ready with replacement corner nets to catch coins securely every time.
