Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Timo Boll OFF-
Forehand Rubber: Tackifire C Soft 2.1
Backhand Rubber: Tackifire C Soft 2.1

Question: Should I stick with this rubber as an intermediate player or should I switch rubbers?
If I switch, what rubber should I get? Once again, I am a beginner / intermediate player.

Thank you

Answer: Hi Fadi,

Thank you for your question.

I suggest to switch rubber due to change of ball size and made, you’ll need a more advance rubber to help you cope up with these changes.

I suggest to switch to Tenergy 05 on both sides, this rubber will definitely help you improve your game.

Thank you for playing with Butterly and good luck to you.
