Hey I have been playing table tennis(not regularly) for more than 9 months. I have just decided to start playing regularly and i would need a customized racket for which i need some advice. I use a shakehand grip, my technique has developed reasonably. However i am quite disappointed with my forehand although my BH is relatively good. I am considering to experiment with Penhold grip and then decide which one to use permanently. I look for control in the game and don't attack blindly. I like jumping in on loose balls, play with plenty of spin and use strong serves. The maximum i can spend on a rubbers and blade is around US$40 cuz even this is a LOT in our currency. For this budget and playing style which rubbers and blade are the best for me? The main thing is i want to get into my school's TT team which has 5-6 serious blokes, before October. Any response will be greatly appreciated...
