I know this has been asked before but i just couldnt find it. As some of you guys know and have replied to me Im in the military and enjoy to play for fun. I have gotten a lot better however my forehand still sucks badly. Anyway my question is more about paddles, im looking to buy something a bit better then what i have but not too expensive untill my skill improves.. I currently have a Stiga Supreme racket.
Now i read that i shouldnt buy a made paddle, more just a blade and put one together. Um i have no idea how to do that so i was wondering if you guys can suggest anything from either your site or killer spin or anything else. I want to be an All around player since my forehand needs help im not sure what i am looking for.

Hi Wilder,
The racket you have is a good choice. As a next step we would recommend the PingSkills Touch and take the Mark V rubber as the option. This will be a step up and allow you to play a good allround game.

Touch and Mark V are way to go. Get 1,8mm for start, easier to control.
Control is simple - think about it as opposite of speed and spin. More speed = less control | more spin = less control.
About tacky rubbers - its non mechanical spin, not a easy thing to control for amateurs.
Mechanical is much easier.
Dont buy for start 2 different rubbers - its twice more things to think about.
Calibra is crazy fast. You will be in trouble as long as you go down on speed.
Believe please those guys gere, they have spepped on those fast holes ;)
Basically been there done that - me is back on bty primorac and mark V - developing strokes for faster blades rubbers :)
