Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Clearfield FL

Question: I have a blade that wasn’t used much (Clearfield FL). I would like you to suggest me the rubbers for my forehand and backhand use.
FOREHAND- mid distance play, topspin, heavy topspin, if chance a flat smash, low backspin
BACKHAND- All types of spin and speed play, heavy topspins.
Thanks Butterfly Team

Coach Jun Gao, Ask The ExpertsAnswer: Hi Suhaib,

I would recommend Roundell for your forehand and Tackifire Drive for your backhand.

If you would like greater speed and spin then I would recommend Tenergy 05 for your forehand and Tenergy 64 for your backhand.

Best of luck!
