Upgrade Blade or Rubbers first
So … I’m very happy with current configuration of blade / rubber (see below) as I develop my game … gaining more control / consistency
But ultimately it’s too conservative and I need extra pace .. by way of a next step would you advise to upgrade the blade or rubber first ?!?
Currently
- Blade: Butterfly Timo Boll CAF
- FH Rubber: Butterfly Glayzer 09C (Black 2.1)
- BH Rubber: Butterfly Glayzer 09C (Red 2.1)
Future 2025/26 season
- Blade: Timo Boll ALC or Stiga Clipper
- FH Rubber: Butterfly Dignics 09C
- BH Rubber: Butterfly Dignics 09C
Hey Ian, I would say upgrade both together rather than going through 2 sets of changes, you will be better of changing the whole set up straight away.
I would definitely go to the Boll ALC with Dignics 09c both sides out of those options, it’ll be a good set up in speed but not crazy and the feeling shouldn’t be too different to what you have right now. I’ve used the Boll ALC for a long time and it’s a great blade, it’s very popular with a lot of players to.
