I have been playing table tennis for a couple years, and recently I have started to play more and get more serious. I joined a table tennis club at school, and am going to get a table for my house. I currently have a Donic Waldner 400 paddle, a $10.00 beginner paddle that I bought just to have something to use.
Now I want to upgrade to something better, but I have found that picking the blade and rubbers is confusing, with many different factors that come into play. I would consider my playing style to be allround with spin while looking for oppurtunities to hit a driving shot. Does anyone have an idea of a paddle or combination of blade and rubbers that would be a good upgrade for not too much money?

I hear you; you know the first thing you have to put into consideration is for you to be good in table tennis (or anything in life), you have to really devote your time (and money). A $10 paddle doesn't do it AT ALL. As a matter of fact, with the paddle you have presently, there is absolutely no way for you to figure out your style, your strengths, weaknesses simply because you are not getting the right spin out of your shots. For beginners, the right paddle is usually pre-assembled. The best resource for you is USATT.org. It will provide you most of the info you need. There are good links on the right side of the page to take you to websites like Killerspin, Butterfly etc. I would also advise to get a usatt membership, you get the magazine for free. The mag is a great resource for everything from paddles to tables to skill sets.

Keep on and enjoy the game

I hear ya its confusing but for someone who's never played with quality gear you'll probably want an all-around paddle so you can see if you like offense or defense, chop or top-spin loop, spin or control better. An all-around paddle will provide you with more neutral statistics so you can know what you want to vary in the future. I really like ordering from paddle palace and this is one of their specials that they cut and glue the rubber on for you so you don't have to worry about messing it up.
