Hi!

I’m a beginner who practices 2–3 times a week on a local club in a beginners group setting and I’m looking for advice on the best upgrade path. I do feel that I am progressing pretty fast when comparing with fellow beginners. I am very much enjoying this sport!! If it makes any difference I am in my mid forties.

My three setups are:
Butterfly Primorac FL + Rozena
Donic J.O. Waldner Gold Edition + Baracuda
Butterfly Timo Boll ALC FL + Rozena

I got good deals on 2 of them and 1 was a gift.

Which order would you recommend using them, and when would you move from one to the next?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !



My goal is improving my technique, not upgrading too quickly. Thanks!

Thanks for reply. In your opinion the Donic setup is not worth keeping?
Donic themselves states in the product description that control: challenging. It's probably a nice piece of workmanship, made in Korea.

But what Donic says about the low level of control can be translated into common English: should be used by elite level and/or highly experienced players (10+ years) only. I was interested in buying it at first, but it would only make me play worse, not better.

Understood! Thanks for the explanation

If by Primorac you mean the all-wood 5ply version then that's your starting point.
Many people will never move on from that blade and play very, very well.
