Ask The Experts: Xinyue Wang #272 Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question: I am planning to upgrade to ZLC, but scared that would it be controllable or no ? I want to buy Mizutani ZLC or Tiago Apolonia ZLC. MY ALC has very good combination of speed, spin & control. In game play I like to block topspins from opponent, push & topspin rallies as well. I don’t want my setup to be rocket fast. I want my shots to be precise on the table. I am a spin oriented player. If I want to change to Butterfly rubbers which one you recommend with which thickness? Tenergy rubbers are very fast, I don’t want a rocket fast setup but decent speed because ZLC is already fast. So help me to choose the setup. Waiting for your reply impatiently.
