Hi everyone, this is my first ever post here.
I'm a 20-y-o student in Germany who recently fell in love with the sport of table tennis after getting introduced by people in my dormitory. I have set my goals on getting better and have joined clubs/table tennis courses at the university.
My current paddle/racket is a very cheap pre-assembled one handed down to me by my relative, whose rubbers have been commented on as being thin with almost no resistance. The blade also makes weird vibrations and has a rather odd center of balance. People have been recommending me to get rid of it if I want to develop my strokes properly.
That's why I'm currently looking for a new one. After watching videos and reading guides on the internet the sheer amount of information and contradictory advices has made me even more confused than before I started (slow vs fast blades, hard vs soft rubbers for beginner, the thickness of sponge, the shape of the handle, etc).
I would really appreciate it if you could spend a minute or two and suggest to me some good blade/rubbers combo. I'm ready to spend a decent amount (somewhere in the range of 60 EUR) for a good blade that I can stick with for a long period.
