Choosing blade
Equipment
Jakob TheUnknown Asked 12 years ago
hi sir,
i have been looking for a blade that suits my playing style and i don't know which to buy. my playing style is allround+ or offensive- i think because i like to play from half table and smash/loop to loop. and when it suits i am defending with backspin (like joo se hyuk). so do you know a blade that suits my playing style?
thanks.

Hi Jakob,
If you take a look at a lot of the manufacturers, especially the popular ones, they will have a rating on their blades. I think getting something in the range you talked about would be ideal. I don't have a particular blade that I would recommend. The PingSkills Touch would also be an option.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Really good defender blades you only get with custom blade makers imo. See here http://www.bladesbycharlie.com/ultra-blue-streak. Bh is slower than fh
Charlie can make what ever you wish. So if that blade is yet too fast for you he can adjust it as you like. He just needs to adjust thickness as that mostly influences speed, followed by weight. You might say its expensive, but those guys building handmade blades surpase anything that is on the market imo.
Charlie got 40 years of building blades on his back;)
