Hi everyone,
I'm a recreational ping pong player, and I've been thinking about customizing my paddle to better suit my playing style. I've heard that changing the rubber, blade, or handle can have a big impact on how a paddle performs, but I'm not sure if it's worth the investment on these. https://pingpongacademy.org/best-ping-pong-paddles/
Have any of you customized your paddle before? Did you notice a significant improvement in your game? What changes did you make, and why?
Also, I'm curious about the different types of rubber and blades that are available. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each, and how do you choose the right ones for your playing style?
Finally, for those of you who have played with custom paddles, do you think it gives you an edge over players who use off-the-shelf paddles? Or is it more of a personal preference?
