Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Tawny Banh. She is a coach at the Los Angeles Table Tennis Association in El Monte, CA. Coach Banh’s response is as follows:
Hi Steve,
Your equipment is very outdated! Glad you want to upgrade to newer technology equipment.
It sounds like you are more of a controlled and placement player. I suggest using the blades: Boll Offensive or Boll Control. These 2 blades should give you good spin, control and placement while you can still attack.
I also recommend upgrading your Sriver rubber to Rozena.
Hope this helps and good luck!

The Google Sheets image takes you to a spreadsheet that gives the settings for each drill. While these won’t be the exact settings for the Control Panel on your robot, they will give you an idea of where to start, and you’ll need to adjust from there. At the bottom, we’ve included the ranges and defaults for the setting on a Prime so you can compare these to the ranges and defaults on your own robot. In general, default settings should give you a similar ball regardless of what model you have. If a drill has a change of speed, spin, or trajectory, you will be unable to replicate that drill on a Basic or Start model.
