As the title says I am returning to table tennis after 40 years. I recently had a clear out and found my old Butterfly bat still in the case. So was tempted to have another go. As I work in a school as a caretaker I am able to use their tables and have found that a few of the staff like to have a game or two.
So we now play whenever we can, and I have found that my skills have not left me its just my age and lack of movement against younger player than me is holding me back a bit.
Just for interest my original bat is a Butterfly "Kenny Style" cannot remember if this was any good in the old days perhaps someone will know. It has Butterfly Tackiness on one side and Yasaka "Wallie" on the other both in black. As you all know you did not need two different colour rubbers in those days.
Well tried it out and still ok, but no spin left in it these days. But wanted to know what you thought of my choice of blade and rubbers in the 70s.
I have ordered a new bat and rubbers now, hoping they arrive for christmas.
This was my choice
