Re: Importance of equipment
Hi all,
today I played with a special blade, which -as far as I know- is only produced in Germany or Switzerland.
it is called "Re-Impakt".
The philosophy is totally different to the philosophy of the usual brand names.
They have special manufactured different wood sheets (beech, Annege and Limba), which give a different speed and control on backhand and forehand, depending on your special requests.
The prices I do not know, but they are as high as perhaps two or three usual paddle-woods.
I had a much better "feeling" with the defender wood and stokes were easy easy easy I can tell you. But therefore the chop and underslice was much less then with the usual wood.
May be it is worth to say that these woods are very thick and therefore you have to use a thin rubber.
Amazing, but no easy to get... and for sure a total other feeling.....
Better or worse.... I cannot state.
Ciao
Norbert
