What about the ARTENGO brand?
I've seen 'antispin' rubbers, why would someone use them? like you can't you just don't do the effect?
What should I practise at the beggining?
The blade haves to be black and red?
Which brands are the best ones?
How many different ways are there to hold the blade? I've seen two kinds of penhold, shakehand... I guess there are more
Thanks a lot!
First of all, welcome to the forum, Pablo.
Carl has given already some top notch answers, so let me try to maintain that vibe.
As far as i've seen is Artengo a brand mostly producing recreational equipment similar like Schildkröt, so if you want to play serious and competitive you should rather look for something else.
To make it short: there is no best brand. It's mostly personal preferences.
Nearly every brand has different equipment suiting different levels and playstyles. So if someone says this or that brand is the best it's nothing but personal likings.
Qualitywise many people say Butterfly has the best and longest lasting equipment, while others say that their stuff is heavily overpriced and other brands that are cheaper also produce good equipment.
Personally i like using DHS and Butterfly equipment, 'cause their stuff fits my playstyle like a glove and never has let me down and disappointed me and i already know what i'm looking for in a rubber and in a blade.
But as i wrote, that's just my personal likings and i certainly wouldn't recommend my equipment to a beginner.
But it definitely also depends where you want to go and what you want to do.
If you just want to play recreational and for the fun of it probably Artengo wouldn't be such a bad idea, but if you want to play a little more serious then any allround rubber on an allround blade no matter the brand should be fitting your needs.
Allround rubbers are recommendable to beginners 'cause a beginner doesn't know his playstyle yet and therefore shouldn't use any specialized rubbers that might be hindering his progress. Sometimes even well experienced players change their playstyle after a while due to health issues or just for the fun of it.
Actually it's not the blade but rather the rubbers that need to be one side red and the other black, mostly for fairness reasons. Before this rule was brought up many defensive players used to use both rubbers in black with one side antispin or pips and the other inverted, so opponents only could guess what kind of spin was thrown at them which wasn't really fair.
I think this post is already long enough and maybe soneone else likes to elaborate about your other questions like the one about the antispin rubbers or the different grip techniques.
Hope this has been clearing up things a little.
Cheers.
