Hello Guys! I'm returning to table tennis, in my times I've used Stiga Active Master wood, Stag Peter Karlsson Rubber for FH and Stiga Boost TP on BH. Now I'm using an Stiga Premade ***** with Premium rubber on BH and Tenergy 05 (very deteriorated) on FH (this blade was a gift from a friend because the first one was stolen). But regarding the topic, I now want to assemble a new Blade and I'm considering the "chinese cheap Rubbers" as an alternative to brands like Stiga, Butterfly, Donic.. etc.. I really like my past wood (Stiga Active with Flared Master Handle) so maybe I can get it from amazon, but there are others alternatives from yinhe and palio for example, and dont know if its worth acquiring the stiga one. And for rubbers I've played in the past with srivers, tenergys, and other rubbers, I like to play offensive, some budget rubbers I've seen recentely are: CJ8000, CJ8000 Biotech (Whats the difference between bio and non bio?) , Yinhe Moon, Sun, Mars, Big Dipper. So I'm in a big dilemma at the moment, first which wood, and then which rubbers do you recommend for the wood. I like to play both close and far from the table, it depends on the game, I'm kind of offensive player and like to play with spin. Thanks in advance for your help guys!

What is your budget? I've never ordered from them before, but I seem to recall that both www.colestt.com and www.eacheng.net have some interesting and rather inexpensive combos. If you want to get a Stiga blade, e.g., because you liked the handle, I'd suggest an Allround Evolution or Energy Wood. Note that the Energy Wood will be slightly faster and more head-heavy. ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG. Join the forum_posts.asp?TID=47778" rel="nofollow - Nexy Clan !

My budget is about $55, so I want a nice wood I can use in a long period of time, and for woods, not necessary to be Stiga as I said, the wood I mention was the one of my past paddle, I will search for the ones you recommend, but I'm open to another brands that may have a cheaper but similar solution. |

$55 isn't enough for a good custom combo IMHO. I would wait until I have $75-90 to spend and get a good blade that will last you years to come ------------- --- http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71705&title=feeback-h0n1g" rel="nofollow - My Feedback Thread |

ManaSV, IMHO, if your budget is fixed and not likely to increase in the next months, I would still get a new racket. If you're playing with a pre-made now, you'll greatly benefit from a custom racket, even an inexpensive. Have a look at the sites I've suggested. Cole's TT has combos starting at about $30; for $45 you get a very decent racket: http://www.colestt.com/ Have a look at the Combos section. Actually, sometimes I think about getting a $45 racket to see if I really would play that much worse than with my current setup... Or, Stiga Allround Evolution can be had for 25$ with some luck and patience. An inexpensive but decent rubber can be had for less than $15. This would still fit your budget. ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG. Join the forum_posts.asp?TID=47778" rel="nofollow - Nexy Clan ! Also member of Violin & 1-Ply clans. |

Sorry for double posting, after waiting some time and reading about a bunch of blades and rubbers, and some recommendations I found 3 blades that I like, but need to know a little bit about them in order to choose the right blade. Note that im planning to buy the entire racquet on colestt, so I'm basing my options on his stock: Blades are all from yinhe: W6, MC2, T8. Three different blades, and the rubbers Im thinking are some of the Air rubbers.. my initial options where Galaxy Moon / Big Dipper, But I've never played chinese style rubbers (hard sponge and tacky) but I wanted those Yinhe because are "Max Tense" and maybe they were similar in speed to my tenergy 05 (is dead), but trying to "play safe" in the build, Im trying to combine the rubbers to make a good paddle, with very decent speed and spin. As far as I read W6 is very soft and spinny, MC2 is kind of faster and has a bit of spin and T8 is the fastest of the three. Which of the 3 blades are good for maybe.. Air Assasin / Illumina / Deffender rubbers? or correct me if these arent good rubbers for the game style I want or for the blades Im choosing. Thanks again MTT community! |

If you are coming from Tenergy I would definitely say Air Assassin is the closest of the ones you listed. W6 is a great control blade, but if you are looking for speed it probably is not what you want. I have not played the T8 but specs look nice. I recently switched from the Matrix to the PD437 and have been very pleased. 1 step up in speed (2+ steps up from W6) from the Matrix and no loss of control. If you like all wood blades I would highly recommend the PD437. Good luck with whatever you get. Mark

If you can raise your budget to just under $100, you should try the Fang Bo 2 Carbon with Hurricane 3 Neo on the forehand, and a nice medium hardness tensor rubber on the backhand :) ------------- Zhang Jike ALC AN (88g) Tenergy 05 Hard (2.1, B) Tenergy 19 (2.1, R) https://goo.gl/bFWoxW" rel="nofollow - https://goo.gl/bFWoxW |

Thanks for your recommendation, the PD 437 seems pretty good!
Thank you too for your recommendation, I'm not looking to spend too much at the moment and Im finding interesting rubbers/blades at low cost, anyway, thank you very much! :D |

Try zeropong.com They have a lot of good but cheap Chinese rubber. They also have decent blades for under 20 dollars, and some around 30-40 dollars. A good choice would be 729 Bomb with 729 SST Pro Team and/or Battle II. 729 Bomb is a blade with a proven track record, and SST Pro Team is a very high quality rubber. Battle II Is not as high quality as the Pro Team, but it is still very good. The blade is 18 dollars, SST Pro Team is 14 dollars, and Battle II is 19.50 dollars, for a grand total of $51.50, not including shipping. This is if you buy everything and assemble it yourself. If you choose to make the custom racket using zeropong's 'custom' option, the Battle II wil only run you $17.55, and the SST Pro Team will cost $12.60. This comes to a total of $48.15 (free asembly), not including shipping. Edit: They also have H2 and H3 neo for $18.50 each, they are equally good choices.
