Hello. I'm looking to sell used paddle, in excellent almost new condition. Used for ~20 Hours. Paddle - Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 Power - Flared Rubber - FH - Yasaka Rakza 9 Max Red - BH - Yasaka Rakza X Soft Max Black Expected price $50 Got it assembled from Paddle Palace in September...

I totally agree they are completely different. But that's the whole point, I want to experiment n experience and decide what suits me. Again I'm not changing it anytime soon, when the current one wears out and due for replacement. In meantime I'll also see if I can try one from anyone at the...

After lots of research and taking inputs, I finally got Extra Offensive 7 Power with Rakza 9 on FH and Rakza X soft for BH. Reason choosing this combo: I wanted something fast to compliment my game. If I want something slow I can always switch to my existing pre-made one. My experience so far...

@greenbeanmachine @Sims Thanks guys for taking time and helping out with all the suggestions, really appreciate it. Sorry, I guess my subject line might be misleading into thinking I'm a beginner but I would say am an intermediate. I've played on and off for few years now (not at club but at...

Thanks, yes right now can't seem to make up my mind on Razka 7 or Neo 3. I had not not tried Neo 3 but after research it seemed to be grippy and much suited to my game especially closer to table. Hence was all set to order it until today I played with Rakza 7. (Which also few people had...

Exactly, this is what I meant when I said I was able to return but ball bounces higher than my current one. My current rubbers are very grippy and blade am not sure what to make of it, but it definitely lacks power. So when I return, the ball stays longer on my paddle, I tend to put lot of under...

Edited: Thank You for the suggestion. But it's definitely my current paddle. Its $25 one from Amazon right now. Am not saying my technique is perfect, surely there is scope for improvement and I'm working on it. Just need better paddle. When I say lot slower, I mean to generate speed, I need...

I was all set to order MLEO with Hurricane 3 Neo on both sides this week until today I played extensively with following 2 setup this weekend, after which I'm having second thoughts 1. Butterfly Primorac Carbon + DHS Hurricane 9 on both sides. 2. Butterfly Primorac Carbon + Razka 7 (FH) and...

Sorry, my bad, I didn't realize Yasaka Extra was a different blade than Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive. I've made up my mind to go for Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive and Hurricane 3 Neo (no boosting, may be later if required). As I said above this combination because am looking for something...

Yes gettin Yasaka Extra. Rakza 7, may be as a upgrade if I get to try one, for now decided to go with DHS H3 Neo. :)

Thanks for suggestion, really appreciate it. I've been playing for few years now, t was casual play with decent technique. Just that I got serious now since I started playing at a club near me and I got chance to play with some good players. I played with some pre-assembled one from Amazon. It...

I've decided I'll go with Ma Lin Extra Offensive and DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on both sides. I have one question. Ordering online, I see option to Seal the blade. Do I need to seal this blade? Does it affect performance in any way? They claim to use VOC-Free water based glue.

Thank you these suggestions were really helpful. Agreed. Thanks. Thinking of switching to all wood. Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive or Tibhar Stratus Power Wood.

Thank you everyone for all the recommendations. After reading all comments looks like all wood blade is the way to go. I've narrowed it down to following combination and need final thoughts. Blade - Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive BH - DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (2.15 and 39 Degrees) FH - Yasaka Rising...

I need suggestion choosing my first good Racket and Rubber combination. A bit about me. I don't have any formal training, learnt playing casually with friends at office. I don't have a very great blade either, a cheap $30 blade from Amazon. Past few months I started visiting a club near me and...
