Customized bat: Suggestions for an upgrade

Shobhit Bhatnagar Asked 11 years ago

Hi,

I am writing from India, I have been playing TT for about 10 years now but not as consistently as I should have.

Currently I have a customized bat which is about a year old and I need to upgrade to something that will further elevate my game.

Current setup:

Blade --> Donic Waldner All Round

Forehand --> Yasaka Mark V

Backhand --> Butterfly Sriver EL

I am a huge fan of the Sriver as it provides me with optimum combination of speed and spin on my BH. However I have seem to outgrown the Mark V and feel that it is holding me back. Also my balde has seen better days and needs to be changed.

Game type:

My game type would be pretty all round as I am comfortable with both offense and defense, but if I had to pinpoint it I would say it'll be more of offense.

I am open to all suggestions however I should inform that not all brands, variants, etc. are very easily available in India. So kindly suggest something which is more universal in terms of availablity.

My Inclination:

Blade --> Butterfly Power 7 FL or Joola Chen Weixing

FH --> Addidas P3 or Tenergy 05

BH --> Sriver EL

Hi Shobhit,

Your inclination is about right.  The Tenergy may be a bit fast.  YOu could also try a Yasaka Pryde.  The other option that we would suggest is the PingSkills Touch with Yasaka Pryde on both sides.
