This ask the Experts question was answered by David Zhuang. He is the head coach at Princeton Pong in New Jersey. Coach Zhuang’s response is below:
Hi Jaydens Loo,  I personally like the Innerforce ZLC CS a lot!  I recommend you try Dignics 09C for your forehand and Dignics 05 for your backhand.  This combination will give you the best control.  Best of Luck!  Coach Zhuang
