Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Coach Jun Gao. She is the head coach at California Table Tennis in Rosemead, CA. Coach Gao’s response is as follows:

Hi Sumit,

I would suggest changing to the Viscaria with Tenergy 05 FX for the forehand and Rozena for the backhand.At age 13, he will need to use a little bit faster and harder blade with medium hard rubber to help his power and speed.Best of luck!Coach Gao
