Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Zhang Jike Super ZLC

Question: Hi Coach,
I played ping pong 30 yrs ago. Now, I come back for exercise only.  I already have Zhang Jike Super ZLC. Which rubber should I use?

Best regards,
Tiffany

Coach Jeffrey Zeng, Ask The Experts

Answer: Hi Tiffany,

Thank you for your inquiry.

I think Zhang Jike  ZLC is a relatively stiff racket, so I recommend using a little soft rubber like forehand use Tenergy 05 FX, backhand use Tenergy 64 FX.

Good luck!
