Butterfly Table Tennis Question and AnswerQuestion:
Dear sirs,
My son, who is 17, has been playing very intensely for a year with a Killerspin RTG diamond CQ. He has improved dramatically, but now I want to upgrade his paddle and rubbers. He has a lot of control and wants more speed. What type of racket and rubbers would you recommend? I would not like to spend more than $250 or $300 in total.
Sincerely,
Alejandro Morales

Hi Alejandro,Thanks for your question and interest in Butterfly equipment.I recommend for you to try the Timo Boll Spirit blade with Tenergy 64 on both forehand and backhand.The harder feel of the ALC carbon blade with a softer feel of the Tenergy 64 rubbers is the perfect combination for more speed and spin, while having great control.Both the blade and rubbers are currently on sale – I suggest to taking advantage of this offer now. I wish you all the best and hope you will enjoy the new equipment.Best,Stefan FethUS National Team & Olympic CoachCoach @ WCTTAwww.tt-champions.com

The Google Sheets image takes you to a spreadsheet that gives the settings for each drill. While these won’t be the exact settings for the Control Panel on your robot, they will give you an idea of where to start, and you’ll need to adjust from there. At the bottom, we’ve included the ranges and defaults for the setting on a Prime so you can compare these to the ranges and defaults on your own robot. In general, default settings should give you a similar ball regardless of what model you have. If a drill has a change of speed, spin, or trajectory, you will be unable to replicate that drill on a Basic or Start model.
