Rubbers

Butterfly Ilius B is a completely new long pip top sheet with a brand new sponge, Absorber Sponge Drop. When long pips rubber has hard sponge, the pimples will bend more, thus greater effects will be obtained. Generally, the harder the sponge, the more difficult it is to control as the speed of the ball off the racket gets faster. However, Absorber Sponge Drop absorbs the energy of the opponent's ball well even during hard impact, so you can have high stability while taking advantage of the long pimpled effect. The top sheet is also rather hard with pimples whose aspect ratio is at the highest limit permitted to extract the features of the rubber. The combination of the top sheet and Absorber Sponge Drop provides a high performance when playing a short stroke over the table, such as chop block. In addition, innovative attacking and defensive play are both possible, thus making best use of the characteristics of the long pimples, such as a low penetrating backhand with minimal spin. In addition, the durability of the top sheet has more than doubled compared to the Feint Long III, which has a similar pimple shape. This is due to the compounds used to achieve durability whilst maintaining the performance of the rubber.

Butterfly Feint Long II pushes the envelope for what one can do with a long pip rubber. With the barely-legal long and thin pips, this rubber is capable of giving your opponents fits as they try to determine what sort of spin they are getting back. This rubber is able to create wobbly knuckleballs when blocking or hitting, as well as devestating underspin when chopping or chop blocking. This is also the favored long pips rubber for ITTF World Tour and Butterfly-sponsored player Panagiotis Gionis, who uses it on a Petr Korbel with Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard on the forehand side.

• Butterfly Feint Long II long pips rubber pushes the limits of the ITTF length/diameter aspect ratio for pips rubber
• These long skinny pips are easily bent at contact, maximizing their effect and confounding opponents
• Feint Long II possesses a wide range of spin and the consistency that defensive players demand
• Pairs best with Innershield Layer ZLF, Hadraw Shield, Petr Korbel, Gionis Carbon Allround, and other Butterfly blades
• Butterfly Free Chack glue or Chack Sheet recommended when assembling Butterfly table tennis rubbers

Compatible friction and a high level bounce is realised thanks to the synergy effect between the original top sheet and a rather hard Spring Sponge X (a little harder than Tenergy 05 Hard), to bring out the features of a friction rubber while upgrading the High Tension effect. The pimples code No. 209 delivers topspin and defensive play with high amount of spin as well as ease of over-the-table techniques and counter topspin. DIGNICS 09C, with the upgraded friction High Tension features, guides a player who expects the unique feeling of a friction rubber to new heights. Dignics 09C, Overpowering Evolution.
