JOYOTOSH DEY Asked 7 years ago
Hi Coach,
I am an intermediate amateur player. My playing style is close to table push, loops and block. Some times mid distance counter topspin or chops. Presently I am using Donic 3000 pre assembled racket.
I am planning to get Yasaka Mark-V 2.0 mm on both sides on a Stiga Allround Classic blade. Is the combination OK for my style of play. I am also fascinated by Yasaka silver line all wood, but not getting many reviews about the blade. How would be Yasak Swden Classic. Suggest me the best combination.
How would be Yasaka Mark-V pre made racket?

Hi Joyotosh,
I think Mark V is a good choice.
We also have the PingSkills Touch with Mark V which we recommend for players moving up from a pre-made racket.

Choosing a Table Tennis Table
The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

Thank you sir, for such a quick response. It would add more value if I get your suggestion on blade as well. Ping Skill Touch is definitely an option and I have never ruled it out. But since blade and rubber I can get from a local sports shop which would cost me less. So frankly cost is also a factor. I value the kind of service you are giving for the cause of table tennis. It is incredible.

Joyotosh, the Stiga is an all wood blade designed to favour control rather than speed. Combined with the Mark V, which favours speed and spin slightly more than control, you should have a pretty good all-round set up for an intermediate player.
If you want/need a little more control on either side think about using the 1.8mm instead of the 2.0mm. Conversely if you are confident with your control and think you can handle a little more speed, think about a 2.2mm or max thickness.
I'm surprised you can have that blade and Mark V rubbers put together for less than the the PingSkills Touch with Mark V, but if you can ...

Hi JOYOTOSH DEY,
Today is my first day to try my new rubbers on the Donic 3000's blade, I removed the original rubbers and replaced them with T05 for the FH and Acuda S2 for the BH. I hope it will work.
Have a nice day
