I've been using a cheap Stiga racket for a while, and I have started learning the Jpen style and I thought i should get a new racket.

Any advice on what I should look for in a racket for use with Jpen?
I was wanting rubber on both sides, and around the $40 range.

Thanks

The only J-pen that I know so far with potential to have rubber both side and staying below 40 dollar is probably the LKT Glasspower J-Pen (with no cork on backhand side so it's possible for rubber both side) Also, LKT Glasspower is a decent blade.

If you really want to keep price as low as 40 dollar, there isn't much choice that you can have.

Second what a23096713 recommended.  You can get LKT Glass Power Jpen + 2 729 Lightening Super Light rubbers for less than $40, from zeropong.com.  $37USD to be exact, shipped to anywhere in US.

If you get the LKT Glasspower Blade from PPGear, it's only $32.00 CAD.

Get a real Hinoki blade. All the non Hinoki J-pens I've played with are funky feeling.

He wants to put rubber on both sides, I think Hinoki will be too thick then, at least it is for me.
