Hi guys, this is my first post so sorry if i missed or did something wrong.
Need an advice to choose correct blade and rubbers. I read a lot of threads regarding to blades and rubbers and that confused me more than before. I play tennis about 2 years, 5-6 hours per week in clubs/workstation with people similar to my level. Never been trained or participated in any tournaments. As for me I'm an intermediate amateur who still need to improve his skills. I usually played with some premade 10-15$ paddles, until I bought Stiga Evolution, which has broken my game... I'm not good in tennis terminology but the feelings were very bad and the paddle was very slow. Than I bought again premade Stiga Carbon pro, which was a bit better but still not what I wanted maybe it was bouncy or had too much vibration. I also tried paddle of cooworker: Butterfly M.Maze with Sriver FX and Tenergy 05. The weight and feeling was good but as rubbers were old(2-3 years) I was still not ok but blade seemed nice. So what I want is probably something between Stiga Carbon and Butterfly m.maze. and never ever something close to Stiga evolution. I'm playing mid to close range. Probably All+ or Off-.
I found lot of recommendations about Yasaka Sweden Extra with Mark V but afraid to be mistaken again. Could it be right choice? Or try something else? Initial budget is 100$ (blade and rubbers) but if I could be sure that my new paddle will be perfect for feeling and learning then there is no budget limit =)
Thanks in advance! And sorry for my english(not native)
