Racket Combos

Here are some recommended pre-set combinations of blades and rubbers that will suit most players. If you don't know much about equipment or haven't played extensively with competition-grade rackets before, you should pick a combo from here. Once you've developed a distinct style and know what you want, you can consider your own custom combo and pick specific rubbers/blades to suit your specific style.

NOTE: The prices listed assume 2x rubber sheets. If you play Penhold Grip then you may only want 1 sheet of rubber, though some also like 2 rubbers.

Assembly is FREE.

Description of the Trainer This racket is a medium-spin, medium-speed, high-control combo that is a great transition from cheap premade rackets (even expensive Butterfly premade rackets) to real competition-grade equipment. Premade rackets usually heavily lack the ability to create any significant spin, so the game is so much different since you can then play without thinking much about the effects of spin. With competition-grade rackets, spin takes a much greater effect on you, so switching to an advanced racket too soon will frustrate you when the spins you receive are too hard to control. Once you are well-adjusted to the effects of spin, you can try a new combo or simply replace the rubber sheets and keep the blade. If you're more ambitious, try the Controlled Attacker combo. The spin factor is still a notch below competition rackets. If you want a balance of performance at a very low cost, this is your choice.

Speed 82 Spin 50 Control 80
Description of the Pips Hitter This is a racket meant for people who want to control spin instead of generate spin. This style, though not that common, is the short pips hitter that likes to stay closer to the table and hit flat, even against spinny balls. You'll be able to hit balls that are incoming with a lot of spin, and treat them as if there's very little spin due to the short pips. You'll still be able to generate some spin, but not nearly to the same degree as using regular smooth grippy rubbers. This hitting style lets you control the table, moving the opponent from side to side with more ease. This is a medium-fast racket suitable both for attacking and blocking. If you want a slower racket then ask for 1.5mm sponge, and if you want fastest then ask for 2.1mm sponge. Recommended for: People who want to control spin rather than generate it Players that like to flat hit instead of spin loop Beginner,Intermediate,Advanced Select Grip: Shakehand Grip - What is this?

Description of the Controlled Attacker This is a well-rounded racket with an added dimension of speed; not too fast like the Advanced combos, but with more juice than the Trainer combo.
