Hi Guys,
This is my first post here! š
Iām looking for a new blade for me. Iām 40+.
A little bit history about me.
As a kid I played in club. My father was and still is (65+) table tennis trainer so Iām not a school player and background and techniques are well known to me. All elements like, backspins in BH/FH, drive BH/FH, topspins BH/FH, etc. I can do with quite good frequency but played regularly up to 12 years old. I was playing both BTF Srivers sheets, blade I canāt recall.
Then I stopped and came back after 20+years in 2016 when everything has changed. Tensor sheets, 40+ balls etc.⦠I was shocked. Bought BTF Primorac JP -OFF and Rakza 7 soft/BH, T05 FX on FH. Was playing almost a year, trying also EVO FX-P on both sides, Then changed my activity to gym/running etc. This year did again come back and old 6+ years old FX-P sheets changed to T64/BH and T05/FH (both max) still on BTF Primorac JP. This is like riding a bike, after few trainings everything came back. š The one thing I have to work on is a condition and footwork, as during covid and personal problems (surgery etc.) did not do any exercises until now, so when you are 40+ condition dropped down rapidly.
This time I play 3x a week, twice with amateurs with different level of skills in the club, and one time private (1hr) lesson with table tennis coach where I am out of breathe after it.
Get to the point from the beginning. Iām looking for a new blade which might be a little bit faster to my current blade. I think then I will stick to BTF Tenergy sheets as I like them. I know they are expensive, but the condition they are useful are longer too than other sheets.
At first I was thinking to go in ALC/ZLC etc, but after reading some posts and taking into account that will get older not younger and Iām not pro, woody blade would be enough for my amateur skills. I was thinking about Korbel JP or Nittaku Acoustic and found many information about OSP blades Virtuoso -/+. I like to have awareness that if I pay more it was worth it. I know that going into Nittaku or OSP Virtuoso will be a good direction.
What do you suggest in terms of OSP blades, should I go in ā-ā or ā+ā to have a little bit faster blade and what size S, M, L. I have a small hands and always played FL hand so will go in FL, too but donāt know what head size and which one Virtuoso ā or Virtuoso + should I choose. Iām rather close and mid distance offensive player, trying to take initiatives and start attacking.
Thanks in advance! š
