Butterfly Table Tennis Question and Answer

Question: I have a 14 year old grandson who is interested and has been playing table tennis for a number of years. Can you recommend a pre-assembled racket that maybe good for him. I cannot say whether he is aggressive or passive player.

Answer: Hello Joe,

Thank you for your interest in Butterfly.

Since you aren’t sure about whether your grandson is a aggressive or passive player, I will recommend a pre-assembled racket that offers good balance. I suggest that your grandson try the Andrzej Grubba Proline or the Timo Boll OFF- Proline.

Both of these pre-assembled rackets are equipped with very good blades and quality rubbers. I believe it will be a good choice for him.

Best of luck,

Andre Ho
