Hi Hanson,
THe next step would be a better pre made bat or if you could wait and save then I would go for a lower end custom made bat.
The bats that we recommend are the PingSkills Rook or the PingSkills Touch. While they are over your budget, it may be worth the wait.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

I have a cheap $25 paddle from walmart will i be able to put spin on my shots with that it says it 9 spin speed and control. Also i play penhold and its not a pen hold paddle is that ok or is that bad. Finally is there any paddles under $50 that i can buy that are good from this site that are penhold handled and im from canada can i even order paddles from hear. Thank u for your help
Hi Matthew,
It may be the bat that is not allowing you to get enough spin. I think it is worth saving up for a better paddle over the next few months. Using a shakehand bat is OK for penhold play to start with. The most important thing is to get a bat with enough grip on the rubber. Take a look at our lesson on Choosing a Table Tennis Bat.

Thank you very much your video really helped explain it all to me so i just have one final question so i have the paddle that you said u can find at many sprts stores so i think that the next one up is still premaid so how much should i be spending and what should i be looking for so that i get the type of racket i should now be using now. What should the rubber look and feel like to be exact thank you for all your help
Hi Matthew,
Spend up to $70 but make sure the quality of the rubber is good. Check it has sponge under the rubber. Have you watched the lesson link I sent through?
