Hi Everyone,
I’m returning to table tennis after 40year break. In the 80s I played in a club as a kid with a Stiga Allround blade with Mark V rubber. The rubber has now perished so I’ve taken it off, but the blade seems ok after filling a few small chips round the edges.
Is it worth getting new modern rubber for this old blade or just start again with a stiffer modern blade ? I’m also not sure how much difference modern balls make to the set up you need on a bat.
I’m not gonna win any tournaments, just looking to get back into playing, improve and have fun. So I’d rather not spend loads.
So, keep blade or start again ?
If I keep it, what would be a good mid speed inexpensive rubber to put on this for modem ball and an all round style ? Any thoughts ?
Thanks !
