After playing a few years I decided I wanted very light blade. Got one - have never been able to control it. I now stick with medium weight and thick rubber. Your tips were great. Hope many listen and learn.

[washnery]

I made two mistakes in the beginning. First, I bought a factory racket, a Butterfly Addoy 2000, which I later found out was for leisure only. Then, I built an extremely fast racket, copied Hugo Calderano's Cournilleau setup. These mistakes hindered my learning. However, today, I assemble my rackets myself and know that I am closer to the ideal setup.

Personnaly, I play with all+ wood blade and chinese rubber on both sides (young shine) with a little seamoon boost ;)

General Question.. But first, I want to mention that you do a great job of explaining things in a way that any casual player should have no problem understanding the almost all concepts that you break down.. You also do so in a way that you don't have to over-state the redundant fundamentals of game improvement like a lot of similar Content Creators do..
..I feel that I've practiced Proper Practice and I also feel very fortunate how quickly I improved so much.. I've tried out some of "the best" rubbers and my everyday Racket is probably ready for the Rubbers to be replaced again.. For the most part, I am fairly confident that about any equipment within the realm of my playstyle, will not be too much to take on.. To this point, for some reason, I haven't had any interest in moving on from the Spin Mystic by CounterStrike as part of my Build that I know & trust.. My brother runs the Dignics 09C/05 Combo that everyone seems to swear by, so we have "better" options here.. Could you generalize the difficulties I may encounter if I stick with a Spin Mystic on 1 side, or give your overall Take on comparable/related predicaments? For what it's worth, I'm a player who hasn't ruled out playing competitively; but it wouldn't be anytime soon if I decided to.. So, I'm mainly looking for fundamental Pros/Cons to continuing with this Rubber through higher levels of improvement. My Apologies for trying to ask a general question & sticking you with a such a long read. Lol. Thanks!

I bought a friendship 7 stars racket and play with it about 2 years and I improved well, my racket is 195g and my rubbers are very tacky even after 2 years and I can spin the ball so easily, first when I was learning fh topspin my coach didn't teach me right and I had difficulty with it for several months, now with your videos I learned it so good. Thanks. But my only problem with that is when I close my angle to do the topspin, the ball is spinny but slow, is that means I must do the weight transfer better?

[yugahardiyansah]

I think the best equipment for beginner is the slowest setup. That is necessary to learn stroke mechanism first

[callmeandoru]

I think the best way to choose a racket is to just ask your coach

[jackhsieh]

Is stiga intensity nct a good blade to start with ? I am not saying am pro yet but not literally beginner
And am penholder who learning Chinese technique

[odontknowo]

Hey PingSunday! I’m playing right now the Viscaria with Butterlfy dignics 05 on my forehand, I really want to try out the Dhs hurricane national blue sponge but i don’t know which hardness, what do u think about it ? And do u think it’s a Good idea to change it to a hurriance ? What’s ur option let me know! :)

[Holamirae]

Hi coach, you said "Don't choose under 40 degree hardness for forehand and under 35 for backhand" is that for Chinese degree or ESN? I don't understand the difference between Chinese and ESN scale.

[andreika]

sooo many exceptions to these rules (cuz there are so many possible styles ppl will end up). totally disgree with "more than 80gr blades", beginner is supposed to be coached, movement will be corrected. lighter blade is also less fatigue = less tendonitis. there are fine cheap balsa blades for beginers (esp girls), banco magic light, banco hinoki (hidden cheap gem!), gewo 575, cornillau aero line (esp all+/off-), joola eagle medium, tibhar samsonov premium contact (great for <16 yrs old kids) etc. i've tried these all and +50 other ones. try 4-6 configurations first, buy used, dont waste your money, you'll save 40-50% bying used. ppl have some crazy aversion against little damages on bordes, you can get another 15% saving getting that used stiga evolution all with a couple of little dents on its bordes but for 15€ you'll be fine and rubber with hide these dents anyway.

[stefanhansen]

5:18 How is that possible? Is that mostly thanks to the bat or mostly about technique?

[yannistath]

what blade and rubber you would guys suggest for a flexible blade and hard rubber (sold in amazon if possible)?

[apellonziaddy]

Thanks Coach for these amazing advice. I just need a little clarification. Isn't a beginner supposed to play softer rubbers for better feeling?

[Deathlynothing]

I made one mistake when buying my first racket. I bought a pre made one which had barley any sponge and due to the blade being reallly fast, I couldnt handle it.

[genzejay]

is it better for begginer using a boer? or I just made a mistake? because there's no ittf in the rubber.

[radosawkapuscinski]

Is it worth it to buy this setup: Yinhe Y-4, fh: Mercury II, bh: Friendship 729 Focus III Snipe? I'm leisure player, and I play only outside on concrete table.
