  1. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    I might get the AK47 setup anyway in the short term till get up to speed with my training. And then keep it around for more casual play with friends (I'm trying to get them into the sport too, but they're all about badminton, bah). I might just hit you up anyway to check prices, I ship a lot of...

    Also thanks for not making me feel like too much of an amateur :) Really helpful community here! Thanks @everyone who took the time to reply!
  3. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Thanks a bunch my man, you've opened my eyes to the world of great but highly cost effective Chinese rubbers. I'm probably gonna place an order tonight for the AK47 Red/AK47 Yellow combo. Just once I pick a blade between the Yinhe Galaxy Milky Way and the Senwei Fextra 7. I'll try to update what...
  4. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Yeah the more I read about it, the more I'm amazed it's flown completely under the radar through all my research. My immediate order will definitely have an AK47 Red 2.2mm on FH, and I'm considering AK47 Yellow 1.8mm on BH. What do you think of the Yellow? The one major concern I saw about the...

    I've been reading up on boosting ever since I came across the term on this TT equipment review blog. I would probably be getting my setup assembled by the store and then shipped to me. Do I request them to 'boost' it? Or do I have to get the individual pieces and do it myself? (as in, do online...

    Thanks! Tbh, I haven't heard too much about the blade or rubbers so far, so I'm going to have to look at a few reviews to see what the flex/hardness/construction is like. But I appreciate you taking the time :)
  7. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Yep I might get this one for now to use until the end of year since it's so incredibly cost effective. I do want to try a Chinese setup at some point. If it doesn't work the way I expect it to, I might save up for my Sweden Extra/Fastarc G-1/Rakza 7 setup and get that as a new year's present to...
  8. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    That's a lot of good info my man, appreciate it. I'd want an ALL+ setup, so the Sweden Extra seems locked on for me right now. Regarding rubbers, I would really like to know more about Chinese rubbers and how they compare to the ESN variety (the kind I'm a lot more familiar with). I've...

    So the setup I'm heavily leaning towards now, after a bit more research and advise from the community, does have the Nittaku Fastarc G-1, 2.0mm on FH. I'm thinking Rakza 7 BH, 1.8mm sandwiching a Sweden Extra blade. The total cost for this on tt11 is just under €100. I might have a buddy who...
  10. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Dude thanks! This is an incredible value setup. I like the specs of both the Yinhe Galaxy Milky Way and the Sanwei Fextra 7. But I'm not completely sold on the AK47 Blue - the hardness seems to be a little too less for my liking. It's cheap enough for me to ship anyway and try out though, so I...
  11. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Oh sick! I totally didn't even consider using a site like aliexpress to save on costs! Thanks my man! I also found out about tabletennis11 after going through a few Reddit posts, so I might consider that as well. The thing is while I do appreciate aliexpress, I'm skeptical about the...
  12. Intermediate Player - Paddle Change after a Decade!

    Hey guys! First time posting here! I was an avid TT player all through my schooling and college years, even won a bunch of national tournaments. But I retreated about 9 years ago, and have since only played recreationally and sometimes at my local TT club. Although I have no need for a...
