Racket
Equipment
Jaydeep Ghorpade Asked 7 years ago
Hello,
I started playing table tennis with GKI racket played for 2-3 years and switched to MARK V pre-assembled, its been a year that i have been using it and i want to improve my skills but i dont think i am improving, so can you suggest me that should I change racket or sholud I practice more with it?
If it is yes, can you suggest me blade and rubber my style is offensive (like to do lot of Topspins). I was thinking of Tenergy 64 or Tenergy 80 rubber.

Hi Jaydeep,
If you are finding that you are missing a lot of shots then I would stay with the Mark V rubber and keep practising. If you find you are very consistent with the Mark V bat and need more speed on the shots then think about upgrading. I wouldn't go straight to a Tenergy rubber though. That would be a big step up. Go for something like a Rakza 7 rubber. There are plenty of options out there that are faster than Mark V.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Hello
Thank You for your advice, i am thinking of going for Tenergy 80 on both sides, can u recommend me a better blade that will go with Tenergy 80 ???
Can you please comment on Timo Boll ALC and Timo Boll T5000??
Thank You
The Tenergy is very fast. The blades will also be fast so it will be a big step up. I would go for a slower blade.
