Hoi Sven,
Normally, you don’t buy a blade for a specific set of rubbers; it’s usually the other way around. People here like to know what you are looking for in a blade. Are you playing defense or offense? What is your experience? What are you using now? What is your budget?

You can glue these rubbers on a Yasaka Sweden Extra or pair them with a Viscaria, or other fast blade. These blades are somewhat on the opposite ends of the playing field, with the Yasaka being slower and the Viscaria being faster.

Sorry I was a little greedy🥲

Just choose between the setup(s) (two blades and the rubbers) that TensorBackhand gave links for and the setup(s) (one blade and two different sets of rubbers) I laid out for you.

What TensorBackhand listed will actually be a higher end setup and will cost much less. What I laid out will be an excellent allround setup and be good enough to last you for a long time as well but will cost more.

There is soooooo much TT equipment that we could list hundreds of blades and hundreds of rubbers for you but all that would do is confuse you. There won't be that much difference between setups.

Choose and get one. Then start training with the new setup. The important thing is the training with the new setup. That is much more important than which setup specifically that you get as long as you get a setup that is good enough. And both setups listed above are more than good enough. They are both setups I could use for years and be 100% good using them.

What should I use. I'm 13 an play for 5 years and like to attack can any one help me?
Sven,

This is your first serious blade but it definitely will not be your last. Here is a little hack: Buy something your club-mates are using. Chances are it is easier to sell the pre-owned ones once you decide to upgrade. Butterfly / Stiga blades are usually easier to sell pre-owned or second hand, but it depends on your locality.

Check around and tell us what are the common blades that are being used in your locality.

Sven is a male name right? If Butterfly is the main gear in your locality, and if you are under a coach or academy, you will most likely end up with a Viscaria. Your first blade perhaps can get a Petr Korbel or Falcima as your starter kit. You can easily sell it and upgrade to a Viscaria in a future time.

Sven, do you think this thread is actually separate from your search for a new setup?

I am going to let your Butterfly thread stand even though it is still the same subject, but for now, for the next month, if you post any more new threads, UNLESS THEY ARE ON A SUBJECT THAT IS NOT AT ALL ABOUT EQUIPMENT, all of your threads will be merged into your current equipment thread.

Sorry. But you can't bombard the forum with the same subject over and over.

Sven, one more comment, if I have to do this again, then perhaps you don't belong on this forum. I don't want to remove you. But I will if you keep on posting thread after thread on the same subject where you are trying to search for equipment for yourself.

Use this thread and this thread alone.

Again, if there is another thread that is on the subject of equipment, it will get merged into this one.

If I have to do that more than once, I may instead choose to remove you from the forum. I understand you are young and impatient. But you can't continue to post new threads on the same basic subject.

I want to but a custom racket with Razaka 9 on fh and Razaka 7 on bh but I dont know wich Blade can any one help me
Don't bother with rakza 9, it's not worth the money. Rakza 7 is better overall and more durable.

For blades I recommend Stiga infinity, it's a widely used blade with really good feel and control. And of course doesn't lack speed.

A €200 budget, but Butterfly is too expensive?

You can get a Korbel or Primorac with Glayzer on both sides for €150 and still that would be too fast coming from your Joola bat.

Replace the Glayzer with Flextra or Roundell and you're at 130 something, using Butterfly, well within budget, and playing something you can use.

However you will be just as well off using Aliexpress, get a Sanwei Fextra with Ak47 yellow or blue sponge, and the total is about €50

It doesn't. The only thing it does in these blades is kill feeling and increase the sweet spot a bit (which makes it easy to use).

@Sven7013 , how about talking to a trainer or letting your parents take you to a store?
Have you tried other people's bats?
Do you play at a club?

There's so insanely much to choose from, and not a lot of information to give you a good suggestion.
+1 to this advise. @Tyce

@Sven7013
best to have a trainer or coach, assess your level - since your playing for some time already. They would provide the likely the best setup for you.

personally, a 7ply allwood, or maybe an inner carbon if i'll suit you. But a trainer/coach locally and have your parents with you (just in case) still the logical move.
