Hi,
I'm pretty new to table tennis on the proper side of things. I started trying to learn how to play correctly around the start of the year, but I haven't yet had any formal coaching/training. I'm a fairly sporty person and feel like I have at least a baseline understanding of the beginner strokes.
My question is my wife bought me a premade Palio Master 2 racket off Amazon because I heard good things about it, but i'm wondering if as I start to go to a club and start training if I should have instead went with a custom blade/rubber combo.
Either something like:
Stiga Allround Classic
Dawei 2008XP
Dawei 2008XP
Or
Butterfly Primorac
Mark V or Srivers
I guess I just have no comparison with the Palio and the CJ8000 rubber combo to know if the feel is good or not. It's not easy for me to get to a club until september. I just bought a table for my home and I just want to feel confident that the paddle I'm using is at least not hindering me in any way. It's probably more of a mental thing.
I'd also like to know that when I do get around to upgrading I can still feel good about the blade I'm using with newer faster rubbers.
