Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: W. Schlager OFF+
Forehand: Tenergy 80
Backhand: Tenergy 80

Question: I want to buy a new racket and I need expert advice on which racket gives me the same speed of my Schlager and more topspin, spin and little more touch on the table. Please also give me a suggestion for the type of rubber I should use. Thank you

Answer: Peter,

I think Viscaria with Tenergy 05 will be the best choice. ALC Carbon in Viscaria will give you great touch and speed.

Good Luck
