Hi Johnny, the thing with equipment is that it’s very individual and different players all like different things, some like all wood blades, some like carbon blades, heavy, light. It all comes down to what you personally feel comfortable with. Sometimes its good to try out a few different blades of team mates etc to see which type of blades you like the feeling of. Personally I think if you are very used to a bat and haven’t found it to be holding you back or uncomfortable then just stick with it until you need more speed for example. This means you can keep working on and developing your technique.
Yes table tennis is definitely very addictive and I’m sure we can help you improve here at the Academy. That’s great that you have lots going on locally and getting involved in matches. Consistency with equipment and being used to it is a big factor in improvement, so there’s no harm trying a few and feeling what you like, but then ideally try to stick to that set up for a while and focus on improving technique and your skills for a while. The xiom Omega rubbers are very good and I’m sure you will get used to the faster speed with a few session of using it. If you want any other advice or information just give us a shout again on here and we’ll get back to you!
Regards Dan 🙂
