I've benn playing a long while now and am at early Grade A stages(penhold). I am an all round player, but more offensive. I play best with light weight bats, but what type of blade would you recommend for me (Oh and I don't play reverse penhold)? I want to play like Kim Taek Soo... hehe. There is a Kim Taek Soo Butterfly blade... But I don't know if it is too much speed and not enough control... Specs: Speed - 10/10, Control - 5.8/10, Feel - Medium, Weight - 94g, Thickness - 10.3mm, 1 plywood layer and square shape. What do you think?

Hi Sam,

Sounds a little fast.  Probably good for Kim Taek Soo.

Try for something a little slower with more control.  I don't have any suggestions as to actual types of bats.  Perhaps some of our readers will have some ideas for you.
