hey guys, i need a little recommendation. i have been using a china LAK blade (penhold OFF+) with hurricane 3 black on my forehand and hurricane 2 red RPB for almost 3 years? i'm glad to say that the bat has been a good one, especially since it was my first tho i had a little tweaks with the rubber. but yeah, i'm looking for a new playstyle, just for fun, especially since i play socially. should i opt for an even faster blade or a slower blade which gives me more spin and control? i find it fairly easy to control my current blade (i'm aware that its not really that fast) but would it be very much different if i go for a carbon blade? i have probably about 3 weeks time to get my new blade since i'll be heading back overseas for my studies. would appreciate it if you guys could comment. sorry for just crashing btw!
Hi bobdabuilda,
To answer your question : "should i opt for an even faster blade or a slower blade which gives me more spin and control?" - ask yourself what type of game do you want to play, fast attacking game or a slower control game.
If you opt for the former, a carbon bat or a fast wooden bat with fast rubber may be suitable for you. But if you opt for the latter, then your current set-up should be enough.
For me, as I am consider a beginner, I prefer to use a slow wooden bat with medium speed rubber. I have try using a fast carbon blade with (1) tenergy rubber - fast rubber (2) sriver-medium speed rubber (note: the bat is my fren's) and I have trouble controlling the speed of the ball. So, in the end, I still prefer the slow and control type of game.

i thought china rubbers and tensor rubbers are the same! no?
China rubbers generally refers to all rubbers made in China. For example rubbers made by DHS (Double Happiness Company), 729 Friendship, Palio, Dawei, Yin Her, Globe etc.
Tensor rubbers are rubbers made using "tension technology", first introduced in Germany (I think). For further details, please refer "Uncle Wiki". Most tensor rubbers have a marking "Tensor-Bios" or something to that effect.
Nowadays most table tennis rubber manufacturers like Andro, Nittaku, Yasaka, Donic etc have tensor rubbers in their range. Not forgetting China rubbers manufacturers like Palio also have tensor rubbers.
