Ask The Experts: Byung Jung An, No. 387

Posted on Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer Question: I’ve been playing about 40 years and in my youth was a state representative. I’ve always used an allround blade for control and spin but these days find i need more power. A friend has given me a Grubba Off (from the 90s) and it’s pretty good but is there a modern blade you’d recommend that gives me some more power but still with good “feel”? Answer:

Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Byung Jung An. He is a coach at Han In Table Tennis Club in Palisades Park, New Jersey. Coach An’s response is as follows:
Hi Andrew,
 
I recommend you try a Super ZLC racket.
Super ZLC is made of Carbon and ZL fiber with high density. It is characterized by the advantage of elasticity that draws out the power of a batting ball and stability due to a wide high repulsion area.
If you want high spin, I recommend Dignics 09C. Dignics 09C is has greatly improved the High Tension effect and is recommended for athletes seeking better spin and tempo.
 
Good luck!
 
Coach An
