Hello. I started table tennis last year. I have 20 hours training time in a week. I have forehand-backhand drive, forehand-backhand chop and forehand topspin. I used Andro csV off blade and yasaka mark v 1.5. I want to be a chopper like Joo Sae Hyuk :) What is your advice coach.

Hi Kemal,

If that is the style that you would like to play then you should pursue it.  It is a fun way to play the game and also very entertaining to watch.

Thank your for answering. I know that. I need a defensive blade and rubber for beginnig. What is your advice?

I don't have a specific recommendation for blades and rubbers but something slower with more spin will be good.
