I was pretty good at this, i could put a nasty spin on the ball, soon as you touch it it goes flying off in a direction you didn't intend. The paddle i bought was maybe £10 - £15... aint going higher than that though !
Not sure if you are 'serious' at TT but that's a nice blade, what rubber do you use? (ie: metallic, bryce, butterfly) Do you use any speed glue for your blades/rubber? Apparently the rules have changed when you are in tournaments; you can't use speed glue to enhance the performance level of the blade/rubber. Well if you are really 'serious' at TT then you would be paying such price for a blade. When I use to be 'serious' at TT I use to get "expensive" rubber/blade which equated to £140 in total.
^ I think you did.. I actually want to get a pingpong / pool table in my basement. Could practice all day
i like ping pong but i aint that into it to get $140 paddle lol its been ages since i've played... used to have it as a competition during chinese school sports day
