I have been playing for years but have never moved past using whatever is the bat with the highest star rating at my local Sports Authority. I want to start playing with a better paddle, what factors should I consider when building my paddle, and how do I go about getting this paddle?

Hi William,
Often a good starting point is if you can find a local club with a few other players around so you can see a few bats.
You willfind the step up from a factory made bat to something you put together can be quite large. Go for an Allround type of wood (Blade) and a medium speed and spin rubber.
I always like Mark V rubber as a starter. you can't go too far wrong with it. As far a Blade, we stock something like a Stgia All Round Classic is a mid range blade.
If you are looking elsewhere, go for something mid range. Don't be fooled by the glitz of getting something fast. That is for later.
