Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Zhang Jike Super ZLC
Forehand: Tenergy 05
Backhand: Tenergy 05

Question: This combination is too fast for me. Most balls go out. What combination would you suggest (blade and rubber) for highest spin and control? Thank you

Answer: Sako,

Tenergy 05 is good for spin. I would recommend only changing your blade. Zhang Jike FL is good for control and excellent combined with Tenergy 05. The racket will give you the ability to hold the ball longer and place your attacks.

Regards,
