Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question:

I am looking to get a better blade and rubber for my daughter who is 11. She started with a basic Stiga as indicated but I would like to get something light and better for her since she is playing more often and trying to be better. She is using the handshake grip method and is better at her backhand than her forehand. Hope to find something better but of a balance between offensive and defensive for now. Pls help to suggest. Thank you.

Answer:

Hi Arthur,

My suggestion is the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC blade with Rozena on the forehand and Roundell on the backhand.

Because for her age, she needs to play with better control. 

Thanks!
