Is Stiga Optimum Sync a good blade for a beginner? Can I use it with Mark V rubbers to practice the techniques you teach here? I see many people in my country use it with Stiga Boost rubbers, is that better? Thanks.

Hi Hung,

Take a look at this previous question on the blade. It sounds like it is quite fast so may not be so good for a beginner. I would go with something slower.

Try our PingSkills Touch which is an excellent blade as it has excellent control.

Thank you for the answer.

1. I'm from Hanoi, Vietnam and I've never bought something online before. So, can you post your bat to me in Hanoi and how long will it take?

2. I'm using an very old Butterfly Gergely blade with Yasaka Mark V rubbers. Can I stay with this combination?

Hi Hung,

We can post to Vietnam. The second option of staying with your current set us is also OK. That is a good bat and the Mark V is a good rubber. You may just want to get new rubbers.

Try our PingSkills Touch blade. I is a soft blade with good control and it is reasonably light. Others may have other options.
