Correct Blade and Rubber
Equipment
Steven Setya Asked 11 years ago
Hi Coach,
I am a new player just starting to play ping pong after 5 years of not playing. I am currently interested in buying a new bat but don't know which bat to buy and what rubber combinations I should use. I am currently looking into butterfly or DHS, but several of my friend has made a reference to buy the Tinergy 64 for the fore hand and they say they don't really know for the back hand. I hope I can hear from you soon.
Thank you,
Steven

Hi Steven,
The Tenergy rubber is a good quality rubber but may be too fast.
Depending on what you are using at the moment, I would recommend Mark V to start with on both sides.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Hi coach,
Responding to your last answer. At the moment I don't have a bat. I am using my friends bat and based on what they say I am more of an offensive player then a defensive player. I don't know which blade and rubber combinations would suite me the best. Some suggestions will be good.
Thanks,
Steven
Hi Steven,
Then Mark V would be good. We have thePingSkills Touch which would be a good fit. GIve it a try with Mark V.
