Equipment
Hello coach,
I have been training table tennis with a trainer for about 5 months or more. The Bat i have been using is a premade donic paddle with rubber and wood already sold as one. I bought it with around 35 dollar. The bat is not fast and i know this is good for a beginner and i felt comfortable with it during the last months of training. The problem now that my level is getting higher in the game and people around me start telling me that i need a new Bat with good and faster rubber and i am afraid that i will need to start from the beginning when switching to a new bat. When i try to get a look on kinds of rubber i feel confused with these many types and names and i just want to stay in the comfort zone using my current bat. If you would recommend me a good type of rubber and a wooden bat also for my current level (I am kind of attacker on both back and fore) and they are available worldwide i would appreciate this.
Hi Mohammad,
You could get Mark V rubber. You may even be able to just put it on the bat you already have. Just change the rubber.

Hey Coach,
I have look every where in my country for Yasaka Mark V or Sliver because i know that they are the most recommended for beginners or intermediate players as you suggested but i cant find them any where in my country and buying them online will cost me with shipping three times more than there actual price. So to solve the problem i tried to look for an alternative that is available in my country. I am thinking of tenergy 80 on both sides (MAX thickness because it is the only thickness available ) + Timo boll ALL blade. I know this is a risky jump but this what i could think of. Would appreciate your help.
Note:
I had an injury in my shoulder and i think that a controllable fast combination would put the pressure on that] bat rather than my shoulder; correct me if i am wrong

Hi Mohammed,
If that is all that is available then go for it. Do they have the Tenergy FX, because that would be a little more control?
