Forum posters should not be answering questions from newbies based on limited information.
Because most often it turns into a matter of posters giving right answers for a wrong question
I think newbies asking personal questions on forums must answer the Newbie questionnaire below first
I am sure I missed few more that you can add

I think newbies asking personal questions on forums must answer the Newbie questionnaire below first
- --
- Their age group (Very bad idea to recommend hardbat to a 16 year old & two side boosted inverted for a 60 year old)
- Forehand & backhand playing styles
- Your approximate rating (if you have one)
- How long you have been playing
- Do you have a coach or do you plan to get one
- Have you had a coach and fired him / her and why
- Where do you play ? Such as a club or rec center or school or pro tarining center or bar or in your basement
- How long have you had the particular symptom being asked about (more like how long have you sucked at this)
- Are you going to be a competitive tournament / league player or exercise player or a competitive player who wants to claim to be an exercise player only when you lose
- How many days / hours a week do you play
- What other sports / hobbies (or nuisance like your spouse) that may impact your tabletennis
- Do you play with your children / relatives (other than of course your annoying spouse)
- Any videos (of you playing table tennis that is )
- Are you sure you want to waste your time in the most complicated (individual) sport there is ?
- Do you realize people will make fun of you behind your back for claiming to be a competitive tabletennis "athlete"
I am sure I missed few more that you can add
