Ask The Experts: Yu Di, No. 168, A Butterfly question and answer

Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Forehand Rubber: Mark V (Max)
Backhand Rubber: Mark V(2.1mm)

Question: Hi, Im relatively new player playing almost daily for the last 6 months. I started playing with a pre-made racket about 6-8 weeks ago. After a local match one of my opponents suggested that it was time to move to a custom blade and rubber combination. He gave me some Mark V (max for my FH and 2.1mm for BH) rubbers that he had not used and told me to by a blade. I’m a fairly aggressive player that likes attacking topspin shots. Im still in need of some control but I don’t want to sacrifice so much speed That I can not surprise my opponent. I am totally lost in all the choices in Blades. Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Brad

Coach Yu Di, Ask The Experts

Answer: Hi Brad, I recommend the Innerforce Layer ZLC blade. For your forehand, Tenergy 05 and for your backhand Tenergy 05 FX.

Best of luck!
