Blade: Timo Boll ZLF
Forehand: Tenergy 05
Backhand: Tenergy 64

Question: Hi Coach, my question is what blade is good for my two new players? They need to upgrade their blade and rubbers. One of them like the offensive game. The other likes to take it slow a bit, but when it is good she starts the offensive play. Thank You

Answer: Hi James,

You could consider switching to the Innerforce ZLC blade for the more offensive player, it is faster than The Timo Boll ZLF and it’s also has good control. For the other player, I would suggest him/her changing to Tenergy 05 for both sides instead of Tenergy 64, it would give the player a better feel on the ball but also great for attack.

Hope this answers your question.
