Hi all,
I'm new here... I'd like to join a local club with my girlfriend and I'd like to receive some advice from you...
We're at beginner/intermediate level, I guess, I'm 36 and she is 25.
A few questions for you!:
1) should we start with the same equipment or would it be better to buy different stuff so we can see what works best for us?
2) which equipment would be good to start with? through a notorious online guide, I'm settling towards Blutenkirsche Elite for 25£ or TSP Standard Carbon Offensive for 40£ or Stiga Allround Classic for 60£.
My understanding is that with the first one, you can't go much far, although it's very good for beginners, but we both have a few hundred hours experience already and maybe the Stiga could be a good all round choice which won't need to be upgraded too soon? I'm not sure which style we use, a bit offensive I'd say but we both need to improve our BH speed...
3) most clubs in our city only allow to play once or twice a week... should we try to play more often? we would like to play at least 3-4 times a week, for starters...
4) some clubs have robots available, do they really help improving your game in your opinion? (of course, combined with playing vs humans)
5) for lack of room, we can't have a full size table in our house, but I saw 2/3 size tables available... do they help someway or they're just fun?
Thanks!
