Ask The Experts: Di Yu, No. 415

Posted on Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer Question: Dear sir I’m a left handed attacking player with a lopping and counter looping style of play. Also I play close to table for quick disruptive attacks. Mainly using short pips on back hand for quick control from service and tactical play style. I require good ball control with lots of ball feeling and main attacking is topsin and forward drive. Please advise me if the choice of equipment is correct. Answer:

Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Di Yu. He is a Senior/Elite Coach at Triangle Badminton & Table Tennis in Morrisville, NC. Coach Yu’s response is as follows:
Hi Ismail,  I think it’s a good combination.  If you want to make your forehand more powerful, I suggest you use Tenergy 05 2.1 mm as Tenergy 05 FX can be too soft.  Some players use Tenergy 05 FX on backhand.  Good luck to you!  Best,  Coach Di Yu
