Begginers...

Yes Premade Paddles like Butterfly Addoy are great for beginners, They are reasonably slow just for a beginner. Just make sure you get the one that's the newest in the batch. Don't buy a very old paddle since it's dead already.Pick a paddle that has a reasonable speed spin and control for a beginner like STIGA Rocket, Butterfly Addoy, Butterfly Racket with Flextra etc.

yes anything you can get your hands on. Just make sure it has Inverted Rubbers. Don't start with those cheap wooden bats.

LOL If you just starting out then any Beginner Premade Paddle will do. Don't listen to other people since a PRO QUALITY PADDLE is like those paddles that has very high ratings not suited for a beginner.

Is that premade or custom? Still I think I saw it before...

There are some rubbers and blades that are pretty well suited for beginners to start out with, if someone doesn't want to buy a premade paddle only to have to replace it with more sophisticated equipment later. 

For instance Sriver is a very good beginner rubber when used without speed glue.  Its extremely durable and gives a good mix of speed, spin and control.   Yasaka Mark-V also fits that category.  When I started out, those are the first two, and most frequently mentioned rubbers that people recommended to me.  Butterfly's Flextra rubber (which is what I started using first at 2.0mm), is also a good medium/low speed and spin rubber, although it is not as durable in my experiences.  Friendship 729 cream is a good rubber in that its a tacky chinese style rubber with a lot of spin, but not much speed so no sacrifice in control (great for beginners).  The key with rubbers for beginners is to not go for the max sponge.  Generally anything in 1.8mm or 2.0mm is thick enough.  2.0mm may even be too thick for some rubbers.

As for blades, there are a lot of high quality blades that can still be good beginner blades.  There are lots of all around medium speed but high control blades that are all wood, such as the Stiga Allround Classic blade and the Butterfly Primorac blade.  I personally started with the Butterfly X-star, which is probably the easiest to control blades I have ever played with.  Made of nothing but wood.

Oh sorry did he mean a custom quality paddle? If so, go buy 2 Sriver Rubber Sheets, 1 Allround Blade or -OFF blade and have someone experienced attach them for you. OR go to Cole. It's what everyone will say.

where do you live zhou-kuyuin?

why change the rabbit brytaku?

There's a sticky in equipment forum with beginner rubbers and blades.  I don't think a premade less than $30 will cut it because it'll certainly have (near) dead rubbers and you'll form incorrect strokes for sure. If you buy more expensive premades, you might as well go for a custom from coleTT or zeropong as you can get 1 blade + 2 rubbers for $40. 

The blade + rubbers for $20 that colestt.com offers is pretty good for beginners. 

Why did you say my equipment LOL?

Sorry Bry, am just taking example for a common setup for a beginner..

I think korbel with slow rubbers is ok.

They are good for beginners, the simple premade racket goes.  Good for learning basic hitting and stroke.

Second question, No.  They can't play as well with that racket.  These rackets do not have the tackiness needed to create the spin necessary to keep up with the modern game.
