Hello everyone, hope you’re having a nice day!
I’m sure the “What blade and rubbers should I use?” topic has been done a hundred timed before, so I’ll apologize in advance if everyone is tired of seeing these. I have been doing some research at least, and I’m really just hoping to get some feedback, or opinions before I place an order.
This will be my first custom blade, and I am still a beginner who is working on proper technique. I am after a setup with a high level of control, and good spin. Since I am still pretty new to the game, I’m sure my style will evolve as I progress and get better. But as of now, I would say I’m definitely more of a defensive minded player.
After doing my research, I believe I have narrowed it down to the following 2 setups:
1. Stiga Allround Classic - Yasaka Mark V 1.8 on both BH & FH
2. Joola Toni Hold White Spot (I know this is a defensive blade) - Yasaka Mark V 2.0 on both BH & FH
I am fairly positive the Stiga Allround Classic with Mark V 1.8 is a perfectly acceptable setup for a beginner.
The Joola Toni Hold White Spot really intrigued me though. It appears to have a higher level of control than the Stiga, but the numbers show it is slower. I choose the Yasaka Mark V 2.0 to compensate for the slower blade.
Since my only experience is with a pre-made Killerspin Jet 200 paddle, I really cannot judge the potential speed of either of these two setups.
I am 100% open to any recommendations, and I'm very much looking forward to any feedback people are willing to leave.
Thanks in advance,
Raegen
