Blade: Butterfly Hinoki Pen Winner II
Forehand: Sriver

Question: I am currently using Butterfly Hinoki Pen Winner II blade with Sriver rubber, may i know if Sriver rubber is suit to this blade? I plan to change with Tenergy rubber on this blade, can you advice me which Tenergy rubber is best suit to this blade? Thank you.

Answer: Law,

I think Tenergy 25 will be a good choice for you. It works best for the Japanese penhold punch attack style.
