Inspired by a recent thread I took myself the freedom to create this thread.
So what happened?
My first real racket was a premade Stiga bat > something like this http://stigatabletennis.com/en/products/flexure-5-star/
It did cost about 125$... However it wasnt even that bad, soft rubbers and not too fast. Actually a good setup
I played it until it had no grip anymore and then switched to Yasaka Super 7 i think. Unfortunately I smashed it into the table and it broke. I had Hurricane 3 Neo and Vega Pro on it. The rubbers I found after researching a lot...
After that i switched the to Stiga allround classic with the same rubbers.
THEN IT HAPPENED!
I thought to myself. Now that i am such a pro I need the best equipment to get even better. I searched the world wide web for answers. And I found em. In form of a post of Carl Its quiet some time ago. You had the young Waldner Avatar back then.
So i did what i was told and bought a Stiga Clipper CR with a max Xiom Omega V and max Xiom Vega Pro. I didn't understand the ****ing stiga handle names ... i still don't. I ended up with the legend grip, which is a handle made for giants to put it mildly.
I realized soon that this wasn't the way to go (after i lost to a 9 year old at our club) and switched back to H3Neo and Vega Pro.
