Here is the list of good ping pong paddles. What is your opinion?
That is because composite blades have larger sweet spots & I believe they are better whether beginner or advanced.I had a phase using Joola Rosskopf Emotion, too (w/ H3neo). This was my first carbon blade and was surprised how easy it was to control.

I could never understood the obsession with all wood blades even by pros.
They talk about this feel nonsense which I somewhat understand but it does not help my touch or control.
One may get a little more spin with all wood blades because of flex & dwell time but to me even the stiffest all wood blade does not have teh sweet spot or control of a composite blade.
Different types of composte blades may work for different styles or players but overall composite blades are definitely better, especially for beginners.
I am sure many people will disagree.
I use both, for offensive the composite ALWAYS, for defensive mostly and preferably all wood, i tried all wood for offensive and it worked to a point, but it never outperforms most of my composite blades, so i agree and disagree and in between.
Ha Ha well said. That is exactly why I use half composite side, half wood side blade. (I have the carbon only on offense side & no carbon on defensive side. Yes isolating the sides is a challenge because the rigidity from carbon side will still seep into the defensive side (but the bigger sweet spot is worth the sacrifice) . I use a thick balsa core to isolate the sides & so far poplar veneer seems to be the best for defensive side. I also prefer a spinny veneer for offensive side outer layer, because then I can spin using this outer layer but when I flat hit, the composite layer next to the outer layer gives the stability & speed. ·I have carbon & kevlar blades but have not tried ALC / ZLC etc yet but may never try as I have tough time finding custom blade makers.I use both, for offensive the composite ALWAYS, for defensive mostly and preferably all wood, i tried all wood for offensive and it worked to a point, but it never outperforms most of my composite blades,
