Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Stiga Rosewood , Nano
Forehand Rubber: Stiga Calibra LT
Backhand Rubber: Stiga Airoc

Question: Hi!
I’m writing from Sweden..My son is 11 years old and has the mentioned blades and rubbers.

We are thinking to try Butterfly can you recommend blades/rubber for him?
He is a aggresive player that likes to loop very much… sometimes he is a little too aggressive!! He has played table tennis 4 years now.

I’m looking forward what you will recommend!

Answer: Hi Jens,

Thank you for inquiring about our Butterfly products.

I would suggest for your son to try the following racket:

Blade – Timo Boll ALC

Forehand Rubber – Tenergy 05 FX

Backhand Rubber – Tenergy 05

I believe this set up will help your son to continue to be aggressive but with a better control or feeling in the ball.

I hope this suggestion help your son’s table tennis.
