Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer Blade

Forehand Rubber: Ventus Speed
Backhand Rubber: Ventus Speed

Question: I am an offensive player with loads of power. Now I want to find a blade which has a hard feeling with no carbon in it.

Coach Junya Chen, Ask The ExpertsAnswer: Dear Tee,

Thank you for your inquiry.

I suggest you to try Butterfly Timo Boll W7 blade. This is a 7 ply wood blade, it is made exclusively for powerful players, the blade has a hard feeling and also a good control. It will be a little bit heavier than most blades but I believe this will not be a problem for you.

Have fun,

Junya Chen
Canadian Elite Table Tennis Training Centre Head Coach
