Which blade and rubber

Mayank Sharma Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois,

Thnaks for all the help that you provide through pingskills.

I want to build a bat but since I have never used a customised bat I am a little confused which blade should I go for. Currently I am using Joola Rosskopf smash which is a pre made bat. This is a very light bat with good control as I felt while playing. Being an offensive player I have developed a good offensive backhand and plays mostly forehand loops and flat forehands.

I have looked for few blades on megaspin.net, for my range under $90 I liked Joola fever, Joola flame fast, Donic Saw Baum Tec and Donic Li Ping Kitex as per the specifications of speed and control and reviews but couldn't able to decide which one should I pick. Please guide me if you think anyone of the blades in the list I mentioned are good for me or other blade if you think I should use. And also please suggest for which rubber should I go as well?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mayank,

There is always the PingSkills Touch.  I would get Mark V rubber on it.  This is what we recommend for a first custom made bat.
