Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Butterfly Timo Boll Forte / Tibhar Triple Carbon
Forehand: Tenergy 05 / Tenergy 05-FX
Backhand: Tenergy 64

Question: Which blade and rubber is good for topspin play? Thank you.

Answer: Joshua,

Innerforce AL FL is a solid blade for top spinners. For more advanced players who want more speed, Innerforce Layer ZLC is a very good choice.

Both blades work very well with black Tenergy 05 2.1mm on the forehand, and red Tenergy 64, 2.1mm on the backhand.
