Equipment
I am a beginner in playing table tennis and I was given (by a family member) a Gergely 21 with tenergy 64 and Stiga Innova rubbers. I am currently using this bat but I think it's too much for me. Will I be able to learn everything (I mean everything like basics and advanced moves) with this bat? Or do I need to convert this bat into a beginner bat? If so, what can I do to convert this bat into a beginner one without replacing the blade? (Because I want to keep the blade as much as possible due to reasons) or should I really replace the whole bat?
Hi John,
I would change the rubber on the blade. Keep the rubbers stored because you may be able to use them later.
Get a rubber like Sriver or Mark V on it to start with. This will allow you to control the ball batter.
When you advance you can change the rubber back and put the Tenergy and Innova back on.
