Butterfly Table Tennis Question and AnswerQuestion:
Hi, I have been using Mizutani Super ZLC for 5 years. My game is offensive close to the table and medium distance. My star shot is a forehand shakehand. I block little, because I usually look for the topspin in all the balls. My attack is on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd ball, increasing the power and the offensive phase. I want to finish the point quickly. I would like to know if Harimoto Super Zlc or Jun MIzutani Super Zlc is better for me. I am looking for limba. The reason I’m asking is because I’m having trouble due to the narrow handle. But it might just be practical so you don’t lose your grip. I wanted to know which SuperZlC is best for total offensive play.
Mizutani (outer limba and superzlc), Zhang Jike / Lin Yun Ju (outer koto and superzlc) or Harimoto (inner limba and superzlc). I am safe with Mizutani, but I don’t know if the handle influences my losing grip. I use AN and I know it is narrower than Innerforce, the blade I used before. I’m scared to change to harimoto SZLC and not like it.
Is it the best option for offensive play?
I only shuffle Super ZLC.
-interior + limba.
-exterior + limba.
-exterior + koto.
You who have used harimoto, zhang jike and mizutani super zlc, which wood is more complete for the game?
Thank you for your professional advice.
