Equipment

Hey, everyone!

I'm a beginner C-pen player who needs a good beginner blade to practice with. Any suggestions? I've heard that an "all" blade is good for control, but I don't know where to find that type of blade.

Thanks!

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

I suggest getting a Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Cpen. Because the new ball is slower, the rating will probably be close to ALL or OFF-. The blade has tons of control especially after the new ball came out. And it plays well close and far from the table. 

That's just my suggestion based on my previous setup. And do you need any suggestions on the rubber as well?

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes, I do need suggestions for rubbers. I've heard that a fairly hard rubber is good for beginners for developing the "feeling" of the ball, but I seem to struggle to find rubbers that are hard and in the lower price range.
