What weight for Cpen Yaska Ma Lin Extra Offensive?

[Striker_]

Hi!

Im going to buy a Yaska Ma Lin Extra Offensive with penhold grip. I wonder what weight is the best?

 

[raazzz]

Do you prefer light or heavy blades in general?

 

[dici]

it is not very light. I would say it might be alittle heavy, in term of 10 to 20 grams compare to other blade like carbonado and tsp.

JTTAA YEO are lighter, they can be found around 80-82gr. Usually YEO are about 85-90gr.

My YEO CPen blades are between 82-84 grams.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Mine is 86grams
Mostly it will be beyond 85grams, some times 88grams, so I will say 85-90

But regarding - what is best?
This is depending if you like light or heavy blade. So this is an unanswerable question....
So what is your personal preference? If heavy - then go with that

You are right. Weight is personal preference. I do rpb so I think lighter is better for me. I have a Galaxy N-9, Stiga Graphite wood and a Galaxy T-11+. Too bad my scale is gone somewhere at home. I will weigh them and experiment with different rubbers to find the ideal weight for me. I am still an amateur and haven't used the rackets alot so I think it is the best to play with the ones I have now and upgrade later when I know better.

The EJ symptoms are kicking in early.

Actually I found that when I start play rpb, weight does less matter, although right now i prefer alittle bit more, like 5 to 10 grams. however, if i still do traditional block, then I really prefer a very light weight. This is due to the reason that heavy paddle would put more pressure on my finger
