Ask The Experts: Stefan Feth No. 363

Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer Question: Dear sirs, My son, who is 17, has been playing very intensely for a year with a Killerspin RTG diamond CQ. He has improved dramatically, but now I want to upgrade his paddle and rubbers. He has a lot of control and wants more speed. What type of racket and rubbers would you recommend? I would not like to spend more than $250 or $300 in total. Sincerely, Alejandro Morales Answer: 
Stefan Feth
This Ask the Experts question was answered by Stefan Feth. He is one of the coaches at the World Champions Table Tennis Academy in Santa Clara, CA. Coach Feth’s response is as follows: Hi Alejandro, Thanks for your question and interest in Butterfly equipment. I recommend for you to try the Timo Boll Spirit blade with Tenergy 64 on both forehand and backhand. The harder feel of the ALC carbon blade with a softer feel of the Tenergy 64 rubbers is the perfect combination for more speed and spin, while having great control. Both the blade and rubbers are currently on sale – I suggest to taking advantage of this offer now.  I wish you all the best and hope you will enjoy the new equipment. Best, Stefan Feth US National Team & Olympic Coach Coach @ WCTTA www.tt-champions.com
