    Posted: 01/06/2008 at 5:06pm
Hey, I started playing table tennis 2 years ago ans i play a lot, I have a DHS 2-star paddle which had 6512 rubbers and I replaced those for a hurricane 2 rubber for forehand and a Friendship 729 focus 1 rubber for backhand.

I want to get a better blade now but keep the same rubbers, I play very offensively at a TT club so what blade do you recommend.  I play flared SH.  I would like something that the other rubbers would fit on as well to avoid needing to buy other rubbers.  What do you recommend for a 50>$ (CAN) budget?

I looked up the pf4 962 blade

would my rubbers fit?  its from the same brand

Pleaze give me your 2c

ThanksSmile

I'm going to assume you mean less than $50 (> means greater than), in which case I would recommend the Butterfly Petr Korbel or the Stiga Clipper Wood Classic.

I have a DHS PF4 blade from the early 90s.  It's probably one of the best "feel" blades ever made, but it's slow and weighs a ton.

You can't go wrong with any of these; the resell value is very high.
5-ply, great feel n cotrol: Butterfly P Korbel(made in Japan), Nittaku Acoustic, n Avalox P500.
7-Ply, fast: Stiga Clipper.
A/C and Carbon, fast and furious: Butterfly KLHS, TBS, n SC.

i meant lower than 50 sorry, lower

the clipper is lower than 50, ps I'd like something available at TT pioneers because I'll order it through my club

I dont know if this helps but these are my rubbers' dimensions:
handle to top is 15,5cm
side to side widest point 15cm 7,1cm away from the handle
bottom is 8cm wide
think they will fit on the clipper? or korbel?

I agree, if you are limited with $$ then just keep good rubbers on a decent blade

I have both the Clipper and the Korbel.  The blade face dimensions of the Clipper is about 150mm x 159mm; and the Korbel's is 152mm x 158mm.

Speed glue will expand the rubber so your rubbers should fit the Clipper or Korbel.

If you go with the Clipper make sure to get a light one (under 90 grams).
