What should I do? Get a new racket or leave it as it is?

21kangc1 · Apr 20, 2018

Hi, I recently got the Stiga Carbonado 190 with Tibhar Evolution EL-P FH and Xiom Vega Pro and I have played with the racket for about 5 times for about 1-2 hours each. I am not really liking the racket as I don't like the feeling of the blade. I feel like I cannot play normally anymore and had to change up my game which I don't like. I am more of a looper/attacker. I prefer using backhand but I can still smash/loop the ball easily. I was considering to change the racket and If I do is the Stiga Eternity VPS or the YEO or Clipper or Infinity VPS or ACTIC WOOD a good option? Any other good rackets that are fast and have a very nice feeling? Or should I change the rubber?
PLS HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Are you not liking the blade? the rubber? or both?

Sometimes some rubbers just don't feel as nice on certain blade. For example, I hate putting vega europe on TBS or TB ALC but I absolutely love them on Mizutani ZLC. I didn't my Innerforce ZLC as well with MX-P but with something like Tenergy 05 or EL-S, you get that crisp feeling from the carbon blade

Stiga Carbonado 190 has a strong carbon feel. Fast, short dwell time and good for close-to-table attack. Not so good for looping.
The choice of rubbers are great for loop attack I would say.

The blades you mentioned are all hard except YEO and Infinity VPS. Why not try YEO as it is affordable? It is a classic looping blade. Otherwise DHS H301 has very good dwell time. But once the thin ALC is activated it fires like a cannon.

There’s this new Joola blade called ZeLeBro. I played with it only for few hours, and it had 2xJoola Rhyzm-P on it. As far as I remember, it had a great feel for a composite blade, and it was very much controllable.

If you want something that is tried and true, you can always go for Limba-Ayous blades like Tibhar Stratus Power Wood or Butterfly Petr Korbel.

If you want something cheap then take a look at Yinhe N-11s.

Arctic is not really that hard. It is only medium stiff but with good feel
