Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Jishan Liang. Coach Liang is the head coach at NC International Table Tennis Inc. in North Carolina. Coach Liang’s response is as follows:

Hi Glenn,

 I would like to share some experience for the blade and new Dignics 09C.

 The Zhang Jike ALC blade uses Arylate-Carbon which has a balance of power and control. It is good for a continued attack.

 The new Dignics 09C rubber can be used for both your forehand and backhand. It has good power even with a sticky top-sheet. When you attack, it has more spin and power.

 Best wishes, 

 Coach Jishan
