This Ask the Experts question was answered by Min Kim. She is the coach at MK Georgia Table Tennis in Duluth, Georgia. Coach Kim’s response is below:

Hi Aleix,
 
It is recommended to use the Viscaria with Dignics 05 on the front and Dignics 64 on the back.
 
Viscaria : Stable to control with power at the reasonable price.
 
Dignics : Good for strong spin playing and ungraded speed. As this rubber has a long life, it is worth paying for a bit pricey rubber. It is evaluated as the best rubber by many players.
 
Best regards,
 
Coach Kim
