Hi everyone. Long time lurker first time posting.
I'm currently playing my first season in a local league (UK). My current set up was a premade bat from Amazon that cost about 23 pounds. It is an unknown blade with palio cj8000 rubbers both sides.
I've been practicing several times a week and have learnt all the basic strokes. I'm looking to get a bit extra kick in my strokes whilst keeping the control.
My playstyle is mainly hitting hard forehand and backhand topspins at my opponent though I rely on my backhand push a lot to play against backspin.
I don't want to break the bank here or go for something too advanced for my level.
In terms of blades I'm thinking the yasaka Sweden extra or the xiom allround S.
Rubber wise Most forums recommend mark V but these are around 30 pounds a sheet in the UK. I was wondering what kind of rubbers would complement someone like me on a blade like that and allow me to compete more with players in my league.
Many thanks.
