So, after 2 years, I'm still seeing myself at beginner level, while my game is improving a lot. It's also even more difficult as a penholder, as everyone is looking a bit strange at my grip, 100% amateur, so no particular training excepting training games with my pals.
In the past I have changed blades and rubbers, carbon and allwood blades, tensor rubbers and chinese rubbers, but the most comfortable I feel with the junkie Kokutaku 868 + an allwood cheap blade(Boer) which are fast and strong as fast & strong you hit, but almost every short game hit such as backhand flicks or fast attacks go on the table, not to mention the counterloops and counterhits.
So, as amateur players, what we really need is consistency, putting the ball back on the table as much as we can, than means gaining confidence for even better shots.
Here I put some images from Saturday

A sheet of Kokutaku 868 is less than 10USD.
