Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Butterfly Viscaria FL
Forehand Rubber: Tenergy 05 FX
Backhand Rubber: Yazaka Rakza 7 Soft

Question: What is the proper rubber to use with the viscaria blade? I’m a mid-distance player from the table who likes to loop or top spin the ball.
Thank you for your advice

Answer:

Hi Jose,

Viscaria is an excellent blade for loopers. It’s best to be equipped with Tenergy 05 (FX is fine since you already have it) on the forehand and either Tenergy 64 or Tenergy 80 on the backhand.

Best of luck!
