Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question: Hello, I am an average player. I enjoy offense play with lots of top spin and controlled defense backhand spins. Currently using Butterfly Sriver D13 L and Butterfly Ekrips rubbers. I would like to try a softer and faster blade and rubber combo. Help

Answer: Hi Yew, For the rubber I would try Roundell. It will have a little more spin and speed than the Sriver. As far as which blade to use I would recommend any of the Innerforce series.

Enjoy and good luck.
