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 Thanks  |

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. ------------- Darker Hinoki Shake Speed 90 & Borko Custom FH: Bryce FX, BH: Sriver EL |

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 15,5cmthink they will fit on the clipper? or korbel? |

| why not get a new blade and new rubbers and keep your current setup as a backup? |

| I'm cheap I guess, My rubbers are brand new it would be a waste |

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. ------------- Darker Hinoki Shake Speed 90 & Borko Custom FH: Bryce FX, BH: Sriver EL |

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). ------------- Darker Hinoki Shake Speed 90 & Borko Custom FH: Bryce FX, BH: Sriver EL |

you could try stretching the rubber on -- I have a gargantuan defender's blade, and have managed to stretch tackifire chop two about 5-7mm both ways onto it... though never having played a new sheet, i'm not sure how that would affect the characteristics in your case..
or if it's even possible to stretch ceme-- hurricane sponge. ------------- Gambler Kevlar ST Nittaku Refoma (1.5mm) Yasaka Phantom 011 (OX) |

| Oh,under $50? The only one on my list is then just the clipper, $39 plus shipping. Even the Korbel is over $53 once you add shipping fees. |
