No, I don't think it matters, as long as you use equipment that is suited to your style and level. A beginner probably shouldn't pick up a Joola MC-1 with maximum thickness Donic Platin as this will be very hard to learn how to play with. Unfortunately, it is mistakes similar to this that a lot of beginners make. I my self should praise my lucky star that I couldn't afford the extreme equipment when I begun to play, cause I truly wanted it, simple thinking that faster, spinnier and more expensive equalled to better. Now, I know better.
