Hi Cristh,

The main thing is to get a blade that is the right speed for you.  I find often players choose a blade that is too fast.  It is better to get your speed from your rubber instead.

The other thing that is important is that it feels right in your hand.  Some are heavy and others light.  See what type of blade feels best for you.  Also the handle should feel comfortable.

Other readers may have some other tips for you.
