It's been few years since I last played and I want to get back. My children are now at age it's relevant so I'm on the search for an equipment. The variety is overwhelming.
As for myself - I'm an offensive player, I play close to the table at beginner - intermediate level (After these years probably more beginner than intermediate).
I have used a Yasaka Jean-Philippe-Gatien Extra 3D wood with Mark 5 for FH, and some Donic rubber I can't recall for BH. Before that I used to play Butterfly woods (Which were on the heavy side with a bit of a short handle that I didn't really like).
Now let's cut to the chase:
I will highly appreciate your advice...

Now let's cut to the chase:
- For myself - I look for a descent offensive wood. FL shape handle with good rubber (I don't want a very unforgiving blade). My budget is around 150-200 USD and if there are descent choices for less money I'll be glad to hear.
- For the children - As far as I understand it's better to avoid ready to use premade blades but I don't want something expensive as well. My budget here is like 80 USD for a blade. A total of 160 USD. I want something that will give them some space to develop but not too expensive.
I will highly appreciate your advice...
