Equipment
I was watching the Kuwait open 2012 table tennis finals in the stadium yesterday and I got up close to Ryu and saw that his blade was not a circle all around,but had like a square looking blade,I am a penholder too so here is my question : Is it better to use a regular circle blade,or use a blade like Ryu's as i am about to make my own racket. Thank you,

Hi Moataz,
Some penholders play with a more rectangular blade. This is especially so for the Japanese and Korean penholders.
It is a preference. If you like the style of the Koreans and Japanese then copy them and use the rectangular blade. If you like the chinese penhold style then use a round bat.
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!
