hi guys
firstly my story. thanks to experimenting and some lawn tennis knowledge i can loop and hook forehands. my bh is a bit defensive with backspins (kinda like slice bh of tennis), bh loop but i can do a quick punch if needed. i do not have any formal training or tournament experience in tt so its lacking and i cannot gauge my level. being relatively knew to the whole tt racket science scene i have read up a lot. i would like advice regarding a good blade and rubber. from my understanding of my own preference in playstyle i would like to: for fh - rubber that can spin a lot, goes very fast, decent control for bh - rubber that goes very fast, decent spin, very good control and blade that will compliement these. pls help. i do not mind, infact prefer, if the setup is overwhelming for me atm. i intend to stick to em until i can "tame" it i guess. i have a budget of aus$150 give or take. i am from around the parramatta area in NSW. is there any good clubs not too far so i can go have a look and learn first hand regarding putting together rubbers and such? |

Have a look at the massive sydney thread here on this forum for nearby clubs:
I would highly recommend you go to a club first and try a few bats. The strokes for table tennis are very different compared to tennis, and you really won't have a perception of "fast" until you try a few bats...

Seems like you want a pretty fast setup so here goes: Stiga Clipper FH: Juic Nanocannon BH: Nittaku Hammond Pro @ Oh yeah...... when you're new you may not want to use the term "very fast" too often. It may mean something totally different to those who have been playing a while............ Please be warned that the above suggestion is a fast setup that may indeed take quite some time for you to tame. A durable and quality setup nonetheless.......

thanks for that.
yea i would like a fast setup. currently play with friend who is in the same boat as me. we do not play extremely fast rallies like the pros but it is a little quick. figure a fast set up would improve the speed of the rallies and reflexes and i enjoy a fast setup anyway. also, what is the stance on glue? any type. i did not know they existed until yesterday and five minutes later i read elsewhere that they are being banned. also could someone explain the numbers that go with the rubbers and blades. am i right in understanding that a rubber with 9spin for example is less spinny/tacky than a rubber with 12 or 13. but some website have high numbers that are 85 and 93 like that?? |
