Hi I have a 3star stiga color advance. The rubber is dull and I am looking for a new paddle. do u know any 4 star paddles around 50$ u could recommend to me?

Hi Hanson,
THe next step would be a better pre made bat or if you could wait and save then I would go for a lower end custom made bat.
The bats that we recommend are the PingSkills Rook or the PingSkills Touch. While they are over your budget, it may be worth the wait.

I have a cheap $25 paddle from walmart will i be able to put spin on my shots with that it says it 9 spin speed and control. Also i play penhold and its not a pen hold paddle is that ok or is that bad. Finally is there any paddles under $50 that i can buy that are good from this site that are penhold handled and im from canada can i even order paddles from hear. Thank u for your help

Hi Matthew,
It may be the bat that is not allowing you to get enough spin. I think it is worth saving up for a better paddle over the next few months. Using a shakehand bat is OK for penhold play to start with. The most important thing is to get a bat with enough grip on the rubber. Take a look at our lesson on Choosing a Table Tennis Bat.

Thank you very much your video really helped explain it all to me so i just have one final question so i have the paddle that you said u can find at many sprts stores so i think that the next one up is still premaid so how much should i be spending and what should i be looking for so that i get the type of racket i should now be using now. What should the rubber look and feel like to be exact thank you for all your help

Hi Matthew,
Spend up to $70 but make sure the quality of the rubber is good. Check it has sponge under the rubber. Have you watched the lesson link I sent through?

Yes i have ill make sure to check to see if there is a bit of padding under the rubber and u said in the video this should last me about a year?
