Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question: 

I play with the Chinese pen hold grip. My play style consists of spin serves and defensive front runner with the back side being my smashing rubber. What would you recommend to increase the spin with a good balance of control for the front and power and control on the back?

Answer:

Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Liu Juan. She is a coach at New York Indoor Sports Club in New York and her response is as follows:

Hi Isaac,

 I recommend Tenergy 05 Hard on the forehand because it can generate a lot of spin and power.

 For your backhand, I recommend Dignics 05 because it has very good spin and is also easy to control.

 Good Luck!

 Coach Liu
