Please suggest right paddle for me
Equipment
Pushpendra Singh Asked 12 years ago
Coach,
I have been using DHS X6002 (Flaired) NEW X Series Table Tennis Racket for a while and it did improve my game alot from what I used to play. It came with Front Side Rubber: Red Hurricane III and Reverse Side Rubber: Black Skyline II Pimples In. Recently I changed my front side rubber and put Red Hurricane III NEO. It is a great rubber and gives me lot of spin. But my problem is - this paddle is little heavy for me thus it takes time for me to smash and also the backhand rubber is great for returning any kind of spin but difficult to play offensive may be due to having pimples outside.
I played with my friends paddle which is Killer spin Jet600 and I was able to smash from forehand and as well as backhand effectively. It is lighter in weight than mine DHS however; I like the spin that DHS/Hurricane3 Neo provides. But finally I wanted to go for the paddle that is little lighter than mine DHS but can provide the same great spin. What would you suggest?

Hi Pushpendra,
A lighter rubber may be Yasaka Pryde which also provides good spin but it won't have the same feeling as you get with Hurricane. The feeling you are getting is because of the harder sponge which will be heavier because of the density of the sponge.
Others that have had experience with this may be able to help.

I recomend you change the blade to lighter one, I use H3 neo on my forehand, so I understand. Give stiga's wrb a try for all wood and great play, or a carbon blade for speed and power, but it maybe hard to control. I'm using clipper cr wrb so it has a hollow handle
