Help required on Penhold Setup
Equipment
Kristijan Jankoski Asked 11 years ago
Hey pingskills,
since I know that you guys are shakehand players, this question is more related to our community :) I'm about to purchase this setup for my first custom paddle, so I need opinion on it.
Blade: Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Penhold
FH Rubber: Xiom Vega Pro ( as suggested by you :) )
BH Rubber: Yasaka Rakza 7 SOFT ( as an alternative to Mark V )
Since I have the power naturally, I need a setup that'll give me some good shot consistency. What do you think :)?

Hi! Just here to say abt this.
I'm also a penhold player, but i use korean penhold bat( Which only has 1 side of rubber), but nevertheless, Yasaka MaLin Extra Offensive is quite stiff, but have an quite remarkable amount of control, only to lose speed. It kinda have a short trajectory which i dun really like, but if you're close to the table players, the power is enough already.
About the rubbers, i think Xiom Vega Pro is good for the FH, but personally i think that This blade doesn't very go well with soft rubbers, it goes better with medium rubbers( My suggestion) as it provide you more speed, and i think the control from the blade is enough to "tame" the rubber.

Which rubber would you suggest for the backhand? Please keep in mind that I'm unable to purchase any Butterfly products.
Good to hear, let us know how it feels.
