Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer
Blade: Hadraw SR

Question: Hi Coach,

I am looking at the Hadraw SR blade. Is it good for loopers? I play Looping on both forehand and backhand most of the time in mid distance. Is it a hard blade comparing with Innerforce Layer ZLC? Does it have good woody blade feeling? What rubber are recommended on both side for looping? Thank you!

Answer: Hi Jason,

I think the Innerforce Layer ZLC will be harder than the Hadraw SR so I suggest you use Tenergy 05 on your forehand and Tenergy 80 on the backhand. This combination should be more appropriate.

Good Luck!

Jeffrey
