Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Blade: Hadraw SR

Question: Hi Coach,

I am looking at the Hadraw SR blade. Is it good for loopers? I play Looping on both forehand and backhand most of the time in mid distance. Is it a hard blade comparing with Innerforce Layer ZLC? Does it have good woody blade feeling? What rubber are recommended on both side for looping? Thank you!

Coach Jeffrey Zeng, Ask The Experts

Answer: Hi Jason,

I think the Innerforce Layer ZLC will be harder than the Hadraw SR so I suggest you use Tenergy 05 on your forehand and Tenergy 80 on the backhand. This combination should be more appropriate.

Good Luck!

Jeffrey
