my father's paddle

Hey it's me again

I'm very very very very glad you helped me out with my pendhold-paddle

now the next: my father also wants a new decent paddle. He plays a bit allround/defensive.

I found this: http://tabletennisequipment.dandoy-sports.com/en/product_info.php?pName=stiga-optimum-mp

*a 66% off sale, maybe this rubber can be used in the paddle you compose

Best Regards,

Kris Stallenberg (saxum)

he plays his whole life but he started playing serious 3 years ago,
He plays SH

ty for reacting

I'd suggest you contact colestt.com or zeropong.com if you are in the US. If you live in Europe, maybe our European friends can help...

try some classic friendship 729 super fx very good pushing/chopping and allround play.

If your dad has played for a while, then he may have an idea what he is looking for.

I don't know how proficient your dad is after three years. With coaching, I've seen someone go from nearly 0 to 2000+ in a little over three years. But I have some friends with no coaching who have basically remained at ~1000 for many, many years. Skill level has a bearing on what equipment one should use.

Technically, you could get him the exact same thing as you got, except instead of a penhold version, get him a shakehand version. If he doesn't care for hard, tacky rubber then just do Mark V on both sides.

Otherwise, the Stiga All Around Classic is a nice choice. I don't know anything about Stiga rubbers, so you'll have to take other people's advice if you're set on using them.

But to help you narrow down your choices, either a shakehand version of the Yasaka Gatien Extra or the Stiga All Around Classic are great blades.

I suggest Mark V on both sides for rubber, but if you prefer the Stiga rubbers then go with what people have suggested.

2.0mm

check your pm. i have a nice suggestion for your fathers racket.

-don't buy the synergy tech rubbers, they were designed to be used with a special Stiga Glue that was outlawed during the "booster ban".

buy two sheets of Mark V (2.0 and 1.8)

or, if cost is the most important factor, get two sheets of optimum MP (2.0 and 1.8).
