Budget Set Ups

[zzabz]

If you had to suggest a budget set up for players who dont want to spend much or friends who want to start playing, what would you recommend? I’d like to know your suggestions.

Here’s Mine:
Yinhe T8s
FH: Jupiter 3 / Bloom Power
BH: Ak47 Red Sponge

Sanwei CC for $11. 100% agree on the rubbers. I would add Moon 12 for BH

Second Sanwei CC, very good blade for the price. I would avoid Yinhe T8s as it is too fast for a beginner, and choose blue version instead of red for the same reason.

Rubbers are pretty good, but the blade is a rocketship. Anything but the t8s and cc. They're too fast for beginners or even intermediates, way too fast.

I am currently testing 3 cheap setups:

Loki Kirin K2
FH: Reactor Tornado V5
BH: Loki Rxton 1
For Around US$ 18 all bought from Aliexpress

Loki Kirin K3
FH: Reactor Tornado V5
BH: Mercury 2
For Around US$ 20 all bought from Aliexpress

Loki Kirin K6
FH: Rxton 3 Pro
BH: Moon 12 Blue
For Around US$ 42 all bought from Aliexpress

Both Kirin K2 and K3 are extremely well made blades, despite costing 6 - 8$ each, i havent tested too much into the Kirin K6 combo, but first impressions, it seems to play very well.

For me, Tornado V5 is a must try cheap FH rubber, and for around 6 $ on aliexpress, is the best FH rubber you can get around that price.

The same goes for the Kirin line of blades, for around 5 to 8$ on aliexpress they are the best value blades i have ever tried.

Tornado V5 is a pretty nice and grippy rubber, but I find that the sponge might be too soft for FH use. How hard is your sponge do you find?

The Kiri blades look pretty cool for a low price, but I thought they seem a bit too thick. I was worried that the feel would suffer because of the thickness. I thought the Sanwei CC is almost as cheap but with a thinner structure, limba surface, and a more tried and true performance and feeling. Maybe you could compare?

You probably have not tried newer version of Sanwei CC. Very good blade, one of the best till 20$ I would say.

There are two Sanwei CC on Aliexpress. One with Blue handle , another with Black color handle. Which version is the newer type?

Blue. Although I had both before, I didn't necessarily feel a big difference. I just thought the new version handle was better

 

[Ultravisitor]

Sanwei Fextra 7
Loki Rxton 1 both sides for beginners
Or
Loki Rxton 3 FH
Moon 12 blue BH for more advanced players

Idk, I've played with the sanwei cc with the handle that looks a bit like yasaka ma lin handle. It was extremely fast.
