Blade: Timo Boll ALC
Forehand: Bryce-FX
Backhand: Tenergy 05

Question:  Hey, I wanted to ask, which racket is preferable for me, (mostly used, comfortable attacks)? Forehand: heavy topspin; Backhand: Defending,Topspin; Blade: An Arylate Carbon Blade. The Racket that I am using is good, but it is not mine, I had borrowed a racket 3 months before and now I need to return it. I’ll need a new racket as soon as possible, Thanks.

Answer:  Hi Jethro,

Thanks for your question and interest in Butterfly equipment.

I recommend for you to try the Zhang Jike ALC with the very popular Arylate Carbon feature. This blade has a great feel for heavy topspin shots and provides great control for the passive blocking game.

Hope you find this helpful and enjoy your new blade!

Best,
Nan Li
