How does this bat/rubber combination look
Equipment
Cam Suino Asked 12 years ago
It would be a Butterfly Timo Boll all+ with Butterfly Textra rubber. I'm not sure which thickness of the rubber I should get, so please recommend one. My main concern is keeping a focus on control and spin. I don't want to have a rubber that is too fast to start, since I am still developing as a player. I would say I am past the beginner stages and moving quickly into an intermediate level, especially since I found a good coach. Any suggestions?

Hi Cam,
I don't know that rubber but the blade speed sounds OK.
I would recommend something like a Mark V rubber and either 1.5mm or 2mm. This will give you good control and still enough spin to be able to develop your strokes.

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Sorry it is is a butterfly flextra. Not sure if you still are not familiar. I will look aRuth's Mark V as well. Is 1.7 a good thickness to start for a rubber?
Yes I know Flextra rubber. That is a good starting rubber but I would go for the next step up. The Mark V would be a good next step and the 1.7mm is good.
