Help me with a decision please!
(I'M SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH, IM BRAZILIAN AND LEARNED BY MYSELF)
So, I have mounted my racket with a used blade (around 5 years of use), and then changed rubbers a few times along the time I am training, and my friends keep telling my that my racket is okay and that I don't need to change my material and I should invest on personal trainings ( I have very limited financial conditions so that's why I should choose carefully what to do with that extra money I'm getting this xmas). I want to change because I feel like my rubbers are not working so well anymore and, besides my technical mistakes, the ball does fall unexpectedly, I think that my setup is too heavy and I get exausted really soon when attacking/looping repeatedly while training or playing because of my big effort to get a good quality shot in the table, and I have hurt my shoulder and wrist before(tendinitis), probably the blade weight is related. So basically, I think that my material is old and heavy and want to change to something faster and new, not expecting to improve my performance from that. I'm struggling with that decision: Buy a new racket or get more training?
Pictures of my actual racket:
My (carefully chosen) setup I intend to buy: Yinhe V-14 Pro + H3Neo (FH) + Rakza 9 (BH)
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Ps: I still can practice at least 2 times a week after february ( I will no longer be able to train 5-6x a week because I'll have night classes in my university and I really need to graduate, so TT can't be my priority at all ), it means that buying a new racket won't affect the trainings I already/will have.
