Hi, i just finished 1 year of great ping pong playing at my University and is looking to upgrade my set up, right now I just have a random Chinese penhold with Huraccaine 3 on it, what i am aiming for is...
Rubber: F: H3 2mm or max B: 755 1mm Playing style: serve and attack, so off paddle would be good Right now I am considering Optimum Sync Penhold and Stiga Offensive classic... Are there any other good paddles i should consider? Thank you very much |

offensive classic is rather slow, i feel that it's slower than ye which is considered an allround to off- blade. a lot of people like to start out with ye, so that's an option. something i find to be pretty nice and mad cheap is the 729 6010, it's faster than ye and has a softer feel, quality is pretty good too, i'd prefer the 6010 over ye. and of course, you can go for what i've got: Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon!  ------------- BL: Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive CPen FH: Haifu Blue Whale 2 BH: Nittaku Nodias |

any of those blades you've mentioned are good, but i would also say that yasaka would be a pretty good blade. I've bought yasaka extra like three times before i decided to try out other blades. ------------- BL: Yasaka Extra Offensive CP FH: Hurricane 3 Pro BH: Tenergy 05 "Practice is USELESS if you don't understand what you are doing." |

The Galaxy 2004 from Cole is a great buy for $25.
It is faster than Stiga OC CR, or you can spend a bit more for the Galaxy W6 for $39. They have small handles suitable for RPB. Take a look: http://members.tripod.com/cole-ely/Cole's%20TT%20Site/web-content/pages/Wood.html cmk |

Darker makes nice single ply hinoki blades, that is if the thickness of the blade is not an issue.

If you want something relative cheap, get a yasaka extra. ------------- BL: Yasaka Extra Offensive CP FH: Hurricane 3 Pro BH: Tenergy 05 "Practice is USELESS if you don't understand what you are doing." |

you can find it in iruiru in the penhold section of yasaka. yasaka allround 40 is another good blade. ------------- BL: Yasaka Extra Offensive CP FH: Hurricane 3 Pro BH: Tenergy 05 "Practice is USELESS if you don't understand what you are doing." |

Yep, my friend who plays PH raves about the YE...although he plays now with Yasaka Max Wood PHC because its one of the fastest all wood blades...he doesn't like carbon or other synthetic materials as his touch shots are vastly affected. He also recommends the Avalox 777 Blue Thunder...pretty heavy blades...but fast(he doesn't play light blades anymore). Extra 2/Allround 40 is another great choice. ------------- Yasaka Max Carbon 3D FL Desto F1 Max Sriver FX Max |

So that is the catch! No wonder that I could not find Yasaka Extra, because it is not the complete name. Thank you, Reachie85.

i have played with glaxy 2004, W6, T2, 896, 978 stiga energy wood, and yasaka extra.
In those cpen blades, i love yasaka extra most...although it is not fast, it gives u very good feeling on looping, and of cuz...it's one of the best blades for rpb.
However, if you r playing with fast attack style, i would recommand you to try stiga clipper wood.
