Six questions, a starting racket

1. 1Where are you?

   After a hobby batFirst real inverted. Tenergy is a destination, not this step.Club looperTwo to four nights a week. You already loop.Advanced attackerYou time tensors and will pay for a spare sheet.

2. 2What is on the wings?

   Forehand and backhand can differ. Short pips attack is a hitting game on both wings. Tacky is a Hurricane-style forehand. Pips or anti, and chop, put the disruption on the backhand.

3. 3What can the racket cost?

   TightKeep the racket under about €80.ClubAbout €80–160 for blade plus two sheets.OpenTour prices are fine if the sheet is the point.

4. 4Where do you play it?

   Close to the tableBlocks, flicks, third ball. Outer fibre or 7-ply.Mid-distanceThe usual loop-to-loop range.Away from the tableOpen loops and chops. Dwell over kick.

5. 5How do you want the point to end?

   Attack-firstFinish the point. Harder sponge, more speed.All-roundLoop, block and open. The default mix.Control-firstPlacement and safety. Softer sponge, less weight.

6. 6How heavy should the racket feel?

   Attack already leans thicker; this is the assembled mass. Thickness is a shop setting — Combined speed does not change with it.

   Light in the handThinner sponge, lighter wood. Easier flicks and blocks.Usual club weight2.0 sponge. The default assembled racket.Heavier / more inertiaMAX sponge, denser wood. More mass on the loop.

Answer level, wings and budget first — that names the racket. Distance, attack or control, and weight only retune it. Once those three are filled in, the address bar is the share link. Open the result in Setup lab if you want to swap a single piece.
