I picked table tennis back up at 65, after a 25-year break.
I played in a corporate/community team tournament at 37 before getting too busy and stepping away (I'd also retired once before, back in high school, after making it to the Kyushu regional tournament and then hurting my knee - I picked it back up casually once I became a working adult). This time I came back purely as a hobby, more like a collector.
I originally played penhold with short pips, close to the table, fast-attack style, but I tried Chinese-penhold and started hunting around for equipment.
I started with the MA LIN SG, then bought the Viscaria Super ALC and the SK7 Classic, but none of them quite felt right...
The SK7 was too heavy, the Viscaria Super ALC had too much bounce, and the MA LIN SG struggled to hold up against blocks.
The last one I bought (though who knows if there'll be another) was this racket, and including the backhand strokes I'm trying for the first time, the feel is great, and personally I like its moderate rebound.
If I get a bit better, I might go back to the Viscaria Super ALC.
But given how it handles the short game and backhand control, there's a good chance I'll just keep using this one as is.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
