Butterfly Ask The Experts By Rachid El Boubou

Question:

Hello, I already bought a Dignics 09C rubber for my forehand to attack and a Sriver FX rubber for my backhand for a defensive play. But I don’t know with this combination wich should be the best blade in this case. Please Help… I feel more confortable playing in a defensive way, so I use my backhand to chop and no so much to attack but when needed I do it, and when I have the chance to attack with my forehand I do it with a lot of spin. (I want to get the best of both rubbers but my priority would be a safe defense with the Sriver FX.)

Answer:

Hi Rafael,

I recommend you try the Petr Korbel. It is a great blade for all-round play with speed.

It has very good control, provides a medium hard touch and possesses excellent speed. With the Petr Korbel, you will be able to produce great topspin as well as powerful direct shots.

Best of luck!

Coach Rachid
