OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.
I've been playing table tennis on and off for a few years now and along the way have picked up a bunch of bats that have been given to me, however, due to a large break, most of the rubbers on these bats are fairly worn out. I would classify myself as an advanced beginner. So anyway i'm looking for a new bat/rubbers and was wondering what your opinions are. Here are my current ones

Unknown Butterfly blade with flextra on both sides - definitely a bit too slow for me
Donic appelgren allplay - Donic desto f3, andro impuls speed - Was content with the speed/spin, but had trouble landing shots on the table
Andro supercore all+ - Andro hexer + on both sides - Literally I had more shots going off the end of the table than on it
Unknown 729 blade with Hurricane 3 both sides - Probably my best used, easy to serve and short return

(all rubbers except for hurricane 3 and the hexer + is worn out)

Right before I stopped playing, I'm sure my coach reccomended that my next rubber was going to be Andro Shifter, but I don't remember whether it was the standard or the powersponge

Any suggestions?

First,

Photograph of your blades here. May forumers here knows. [WINKING FACE]

Interesting you would say that one blade is too slow but you can't keep fast rubbers on the table even with the slow blade. Is the butterfly blade a premade. Could be a Yuki as that has flextra on it. Top pre-made bat.
I wouldn't use the unknown 729 as Chinese blades are generally faster and harder and you likely to have a better blade in your collection.
I'd use the 1) Appelgren or 2) Andro and put the Hurricane on them and use it for 6 months to a year, regardless of how slow you might feel it is. Upgrade after that. If you want new rubbers then for something of Euro feel but slower, I can recommend Mars II 33 degree or if you really want a tensor, maybe the standard Hexer.

Andro shifter as I recall is not a tensor so should be fine also.

When I say that I can't get the balls on the table with the desto f3 and the impuls speed, I mean that my soft shots tend to go off the table often. With the Hexer +, most of my shots go off the end of the table. I think that I have a problem with either tensors or because the throw is too high. Does the standard hexer have a very high throw, in comparision to these mentioned? I'm looking for something that's easier to control

If a rubber has a high throw then why not just close your blade accordingly?

I would use the Donic allplay. It doesnt really matter what rubber you use for now.

At the moment, I'm looking at the yasaka mark v (found it for $26 AUD) because people are saying you can't go wrong with it
But since I like hurricane 3 but want something a little less hard, I was thinking of the Hurricane 3 neo
Anyone have any opinions on these?

Use TG3-60 or H3-50 35 degree instead of H3/neo. Either 3-60 or 3-50 on 35 degree is softer.

Better still, I would recommend Yinhe 9000 soft for your current state.

It would be well worth trying Hurricane 8, especially as you are familiar with Hurricane rubber. I pay about £19 on Aliexpress/XVT.

As far as I know the H8 doesn't come with softer degree options.

H8 comes in hard and mid-hard. Mid-hard feels softer than any H3 I have tried, despite the quoted 39 degrees.

Yes, but the 3-50 and 3-60 comes with lower degree still. 35 and 37 degree.
