Blade speed

Nikola Tekeliev Asked 10 years ago

Hello. I've identified my playing style as a "modern defender", playing close to the table and waiting for my opurtunity to strike. My question is what speed blade should I use for this style? If you can I would love some blade reccomendations.

Hi Nikola,

I would go with an all-round speed blade.  This will give you enough control for the chopping. Then think about the speed of rubber for your forehand to generate the speed you require on that side.

As far as blades, as you know there are thousands of options.  The Stiga All round Classic is appropriate but the PingSkills Touch would also be suitable.
