Help me on my first penhold Blade

PingPonger · Feb 7, 2012

Hi, I'm new with c-pen blades and rubbers. When I was in highschool I'm playing cpen but with shakehand racket and I want to start again playing TableTennis.

Please help me decide.

What is the Difference between Offensive Classic CR and Offensive Classic CR WRB?

It is good to use Offensive Classic CR WRB as a penholder?

Thank you so much guys inadvance.

Hey PingPonger!

Nice username I like it! Heres a warm welcome to the site. I don't have much knowledge on penhold blades as I am a shakehand player myself, however there are many penholders within the site who will help you and will get back to the thread shortly. Have a fantastic time here!

Thanks for the kind words

Oh I see what happened, I got confused on your other post you made hehe... Sure the Offensive Classic is considered one of the best blades ever. I think you have to personally try it yourself to get a good understanding if the blade is good for your game. I'm sure other members in the site will give you feeback shortly

Thank you sir for your reply. I'm looking to buy Offensive Classic CR as my first penhold blades when I have the money. Thanks again.

WRB means that the handle is hollowed out so that it weighs less. I am not sure why one would want that with a penhold blade where the handle is already quite short. But they do make it. Offensive Classic CR is a very good blade. Offensive NCT would also be a great blade. Hard to go wrong with one of the Offensive Line Stiga blades.

I would recommend Yasaka Extra as your first blade.

Yeah, me too Carl. WRB on penhold is redundant I think. Pingponger, usually WRBs are have heavier head, which is nice for handshake. From your choices, then I would say CR. But on open options, I would say Offensive NCT too, or if you have the budget, go for Rosewood V

Thank you guys for all of your replies and suggestion guys. I think I will go for Offensive wood NCT. Thank you so much guys

Carbon wood is the best, Try looking for those, but it might be expensive

ttmedari · Feb 8, 2012

I always recommended to start with allwood blades that give more feeling to learn. .

PingPonger · Feb 9, 2012

I read some rumors that Offensive wood NCT has a low quality product. They said that when you peel the rubber you will damage the blade itself, Is that true?

ttmedari · Feb 10, 2012

it's true that offensive NCT has a fragile surface. you can seal the surface to avoid the damage/splinter, ofcourse before you attach a rubber

PingPonger · Feb 11, 2012

Since it is 2012, Is their any difference between the quality of Offensive NCT today and the quality of offensive NCT from the past?
what I mean is, is the quality of the blade became higher?

And Do I really need to seal it? considering I will just replace my rubber when it was worn out.

i dont know the quality of Offensive nct in the past but ive seen an offensive NCT last week and the finish is kinda rough, IMHO it needs sealing to prevent splintering of the top ply, it plays good but the quality is low compared to butterfly, xiom or Yasaka. shaolin TT recommended Yasaka extra, if your looking for a better quality YE gets the upper hand or even the peter korbel

thanks SxTT..

If I'm not mistaken. It only needs 1 seal right? when I seal it once, I will never seal it again right?
