I am a proponent of a slower equipement for a 1300 level player. Too many players I see really do not know how to spin the ball. They love to hit hard though. But they have to start with "feeling" the balls.
I like my Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. It is a 5-ply all wood I think? It is solid OFF-. I do not like ALL or ALL+ blade even for beginners. They are too slow. If you start with ALL or ALL+ blade, your angle might be too open just to get the ball over the net, and over time, that is bad for your stroke development as well especially the modern game based on plastic 40+ ball is all about counter looping and counter attacking with your hands relatively high above the table.
If you want to go carbon, Yasaka Ma Lin carbon or Yasaka Ma Ling soft carbon are really good slower carbon to start off with.
Rubbers. I don't see anything wrong with Rozena. It is solid. Do NOT go to Tenergy regular or fx version yet. They are too fast. I love love the Fastarc series from Nittaku. They are tensor but more subdued tensor. I used C-1 for a while before upgrading to G-1 for the speed. Never tried P-1 or S-1. And C-1 and G-1 last forever. I keep on stripping off the G-1 after 6 months of playing and put on my older wood blade to fool around, and they still play very well. Spin is really good.
Rakza 7 soft is also good. Rakza (or Yasaka in general) rubber lasts forever.
Evolution series are very cloes to Tenergy so too fast. Also the top sheet loses some grip pretty fast. So I like Tibhar blade but I am ok with Tibhar rubber.
Ok, by contrast, I have a Viscaria with H3 neo and G-1 (same set up as my regular blade). I don't like it. When I loop, I don't feel the same feeling. I also have a Nittaku Acoustic carbon with Tenergy 05 fx on the forehand and Tenergy 64 fx on the backhand. I took it out to play doubles for 10 minutes the other day. No spin (at least that's how I feel) whatsoever because the ball just catapulted out of my blade. Sure, it looked really cool when I smashed a few balls. I just put it away after 10 minutes.
