Equipment that I recommend and use: Before glue was banned the perfect combination that suited my game was the soft Joola Mambo rubbers with the very fast Butterfly Kreanga Carbon blade.

I have now found the perfect combination with the relatively hard and fast DONIC Coppa JO Platin on my Forehand and the soft and spinny Coppa JO Silver on my backhand
