Racket Confusion
Equipment
Danial Ahmed Asked 12 years ago
Hi
I am about to buy my 1st custom made racket and I would really like to have your opinion on which one I should go for. I like to play a fast game fairly close to the table, smash from both forehand and backhand at every oppurtunity and spin the ball from my forehand only. A lot of my game is about placement so I need something which has very good control. Here's what I am thinking of getting
Wood: Donic persson power play
FH: Yasaka Pryde
BH: Yasaka Mark V or Butterfly Srivier EL
Please tell me any other options as well

Hi Danial,
I think that is a reasonable combination. If anything I would go for Mark V on the forehand as well.
Others may have opinions for you as well.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
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.

Allright. I have played with Mark V and though its got good control, it doesn't have the speed that I want for my forehand. How about Yasaka Rakza 7 on the forehand? I read its got great speed and spin with average control. Do you think Yasaka Eagle or Yasaka original extra high grade wood will be better for me? The woods available in my local area are:
Staff OFF+
Donic Persson Power Play
Yasaka Eagle OFF
Yasaka original extra high grade OEX offensive
Butterfly Carbon Blade
Friendship 729 ATT
Stay with the same blade and just get a slightly faster rubber on the forehand then. The Rakza 7 or Yasaka Pryde.
