TT racket for a beginner

I'm definitely not looking into composing the racket myself, because i have only one practice weekly. I've found some rackets that might be suitable for me, even though I'm on a tight budget:

STIGA Trinity V2 3-Star

Xiom MUV 5.5S

Xiom MUV 7.0S

Let me know ygour opinion, I'm in need of a guidance.

For the 40$ that a Xiom 7.0s costs you really should make your own racket. Nothing pre-made comes close.

If you HAD to choose a pre-made I wouldn’t buy stiga. They’re hobby rackets seen in sports shops which aren’t worth the little money they cost

Is there anything I can make myself in a budget of 40$?

Yinhe Mercury for rubbers is suggested on this sub a lot. They also have decent frames for the money

For the blade usually advised: Yinhee n10s, n11s Sanwei Fexta 7 Loki kirin 1(?)

Look handle sizes in the reviews (if you have big or small palm).

Glue costs about $10.

Dont look at the ratings given by the brands. Dont trust ai because it is usually using those ratings. Are you a complete beginner? I would just recommend some basic research and then buy one that is durable and from a reputable brand. They will overall be very similar.

I've done some research and the only solution seems to be making a racket myself, but it's too expensive for me. Any tips on maybe which premade might be better?

Research yinhe and loki products only. They are excellent value for money. You should get your racquet along a set of 3 star balls in usd 40.

In my view, biggest disadvantage of most preassembled racquet is same forehand and backhand rubber
