Hey,
my (15yo) son has been playing for 2-3 years and is still using a cheap (but decent) premade bat. I've already told him several times I could upgrade it but he wasn't so keen… until he finally accepted recently (if it doesn't cost much*). So now I'm looking at possible blades for an "improver" allround player. Ideally all-wood. Probably 5-ply. Reasonably priced. Weight should not be a problem but probably not too far on the heavy side.
I'm mostly considering blades like Yinhe W6, Yinhe E3, Yasaka Sweden Extra or Xiom Allround S, which all seem to fit the bill… but I've played with none of these.
So I'd welcome any advice on which one of those, or another one I'd have missed might be the best, and why!
Thanks.
* : my son isway too much more reasonable than I am with respect to TT equipment (I could buy a more expensive blade and hide that fact to him… but… that'd probably not make much sense)
