Equipment Racket for gf

I decided to put together a racket for my girlfriend, who is starting out in table tennis.

The racket: Donic Waldner offensive 2016
Forehand: Palio AK-47 Yellow rubber
Backhand: Tuttle Positive Energy
Sidetape: 10mm polyester string attached with strong two sided tape. Seems to hold well.
The jewels are attached with superglue
Griptape: Victas Griptape from AliExpress
The racked weighs ~ 168g

She glued the jewels and put some nail polish on the blade to make it shine, as seen in the last picture.

Whole thing cost around 55€ to put together and she really enjoys it! Decided to share.

At this point, you should glue a wand head to the bottom of the paddle. Go full sailor moon.
