Hello Everybody

Recently the paddle that I have been use started to lose all of its grip so I'm on the market for a new one. I only play with family and friends although quite competitive at times. My playing style is what I would label All. Bh mostly blocks and chops and Fh is a variety of loops and away from the table chops. I should add that my technique needs work so it may change. My previous paddle was a cheap premade Butterfly (201 or something). My budget would for sure be under 100 USD. I have been interested in the Gambler line of blades/rubbers for there affordability are some of theirs a good choice. Any recommendations appreciated. Lots of questios. Thanks for your time.

I recommend custom assembled blades from Aliexpress. Cheaper ones should suit your better as they are not extreme offensive style in general.

If sticking with Gambler the Zen Combo is worth considering.
Gambler 7s rubber

If one could remove Butterfly premade rubber just replace the rubber.
That could be hard or impossible as many premades use strong glue to attach the rubber to blade.

Thanks for the advice guys. After I posted here I did a lot of searching here on OOAK and found sound advice on other threads. Should have did that before I posted but so what.

Anyways I ordered a Donic Appelgren Allplay and some cheap rubbers off of megaspin and I got them today. The one rubber a RTIC 729-5 is great but the other a Donier Max Attack seems really slow and not very spinny so I am gonna replace with something for my backhand. Anyways thanks guys
