Ok, so I looked through the list, and due to convenience and availability, this is what I've narrowed it down to per members' recommendations:
https://www.amazon.com/STIGA-Evolut...id=1479669389&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+evolution
Galaxy W6 from Coles:
http://colestt.com/wood-blades.php
Which rubber would you guys recommend from Coles?
http://colestt.com/inverted.php http://colestt.com/topsheets.php
I did try to stay away from OFF- per Kaizoku, but the ALL were out of stock, and Coles seem to favor OFF blades.
And I did a brief research, supposedly the Yinhe W6 is similar in construction to the Yasaka classic?
Which combination would you guys recommend between the 2? And if you recommend the Yinhe W6, what rubber would you recommend?
Thanks a bunch guys! I am excited to be playing more seriously now.
Whatever you do, don't go for a pre-made like the one on amazon... I've personally owned a Stiga Evolution myself and it's bad imo. Any Stiga pre made tbh, as well as most other pre-mades, although some can be pretty decent I recommend a custom made.
What I sugest you do, is you order either from tt11 or Colestt and get them to assemble the racket for you.
Personally, I would first look at blades in the Weekly specials on TT11 and get the best I could find from there. (that fits your needs)
From the current listing, I would say either
http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/donic-world-champion-89-appelgren-all
or
http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/donic-waldner-allplay-jo-shape
Idk about you budget, but I would get 89 Appelgren all+ If I were you. Although I have not used it I believe from the reviews that it's a great blade.
When it comes to the rubbers on sale, I have not tried any of the current once, but you'd might want to consider

Otherwise, there are plenty of rubbers you could go with:
1. If you want a chinese tacky
http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-3-neo (try to get the black version for this, and I don't recomend it on both sides if you want to try it)
2.

3. Friendship KTL Red/black Diamond
if you want to go expensive.. as I said, Evolution FX-P or Acuda Blue P2/P3.
A lot of other options too... this is just a few suggestions.
If you order from colestt, W6 (great blade, I have one myself) -> with... any of these:
Battle I (I've tried a few cheaper rubbers, of the rubbers below 20 usd this was my fav, highly recommended)
Geospin
Focus 3 Snipe
Gambler Outlaw Classic/Golden Cake/Soft
Galaxy Moon
Dawei Inspirit
Air Assassin
I think any of these combo's would work for you. Which one would be the most perfect I wouldn't know...
