Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question:  I’m looking for advice on rubber and padding. I’m a heavy topspin, looping player. I’ve always loved butterfly products and looking for new rubber. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m an advanced recreational player.

Answer:

Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Anqi Luo. Anqi is a coach at Canadian Elite Table Tennis Training Centre Mississauga, Ontario. Coach Luo’s response is as follows: Hi Dennie,  Thank you for your inquiry and glad to hear about your interest in Butterfly products.   I would recommend an attacker like you to be equipped with high tension rubbers, more specially for your case – the Dignics Series.  Dignics would give you the perfect tacky feeling to perform heavy looping. It is made of a harder spring sponge which is best suited for players with strong swings/loops. Looking at your current equipment, you seem to enjoy a higher speed rubber on forehand and a longer grip on backhand so I would suggest you to go with Dignics 80 on forehand and Dignics 05 on backhand.  Best of luck,  Anqi
