All-round Blade/Rubber Combo
Equipment
Mohammad El Hariri Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
After choosing an All-round Blade (Stiga All-round Wood NCT / Stiga All-round CR with WRB) and an All-round recommended rubber (Sriver 1.5 mm sponge), I've been struggling to find and buy them.
Typically, I only found pre-assembled rackets from Stiga which are:
Stiga: Titanium, Spica, Propus, J. M. Saive, Premium, Merope and Sterope.
Do you recommend that I use one of the above combos in my current developing stage?
I might be able to get a Primorac blade; Do you recommend this blade for a developing player?
If yes, would you recommend that I use Sriver 2.1 mm (like Jeff)? Or should I use a thinner sponge? Can I consider Sriver 1.5 mm + Primorac blade an All-round combo?
Sorry for this long question, but I can really use some help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mohammad,
The Primorac blade with the Sriver 1.5mm would be an excellent all round combination. This would last you a long time through your development as well. This would last longer than the pre-made bats.

Hey Coaches,
I'm not sure that I can find different thicknesses of Butterfly rubbers, although I'm positive that I can find probably any Butterfly rubber.
Just in case I didn't find Sriver 1.5 mm, and assuming that all Butterfly rubbers from the Butterfly distributor that I heard about where all available in 2.1 mm/max sponge thickness:
What Blade/Rubber Combo should I purchase that would be considered Allround(+) or Offensive(-)
Can such a combination exist with a 2.1 mm/max sponge rubber?
If not, what am I supposed to do?
Thanks a lot.
Mohammad,
You could go for a slower blade like the Timo Boll All Round.
