Butterfly Feint Soft long pip rubber is a classic long pips rubber sheet. While it excels at chopping driving attacks from your opponent, it is also capable of attacking. This versatility makes it a dangerous weapon in the hands of any defender. Its effectiveness increases exponentially if used in conjunction with a high speed/spin inverted rubber and you are able to twiddle. This ability keeps your opponent constantly guessing which spin is coming and at which speed. If used correctly, this rubber can create a variety of shots.

• Feint Soft is a standard long pips-out rubber that is outstanding for chopping against topspin drives
• Best when used in combination with a high spin inverted rubber to force errors from the opponent
• A strong first attack is possible regardless of the spin on the ball that has been returned.
• Pairs best with Hadraw Shield, Petr Korbel, Hadraw SK, Gionis Carbon Allround, and other Butterfly blades
• Butterfly Free Chack glue or Chack Sheet recommended when assembling Butterfly table tennis rubbers

• Surface: Long Pimpled (Long Pips)
• Stability: 8
• Variation: 2
• Hardness 25

Butterfly Feint OX rubber is a great allround long pimples rubber sheet. Whether you are blocking close to the table or chopping from distance, this rubber is very versatile for a long pips sheet. As well as being easy to control when using it defensively, Feint OX can also be dangerous on the attack. When hitting with this rubber, one can hit with a flat trajectory while generating very little/no spin, making it very difficult for your opponent to return the ball. Butterfly Feint OX also comes with a Butterfly Chack Sheet attached, making it easier to apply to your blade right out of the package.

• Butterfly Feint OX is a long pips rubber with zero sponge backing
• The absence of sponge allows the user to send back any incoming spin, forcing the opponent to deal with it
• Feint OX is well-suited for close-to-the-table play as well as chopping
• Pairs best with Innershield Layer ZLF, Hadraw Shield, Diode V, Primorac, and other Butterfly blades
• Butterfly Free Chack glue or Chack Sheet recommended when assembling Butterfly table tennis rubbers

• Surface: Long Pimpled without Sponge (Long OX)

Butterfly Feint Long III is a long pimple rubber that is capable of an amazing variety of spins. From any distance, players can be confident that they can aggressively chop the ball with a high level of control. This is due to the combination of soft pips and soft sponge. Whether you are attacking or defending, you can be confident that this rubber will give your opponent more than they can handle. This is also the favored rubber for ITTF World Tour and Butterfly-sponsored player Ruwen Filus, who uses it with Tenergy 05 hard on his forehand side.

• Feing Long III is designed for the aggressive chopper, featuring a soft more flexible top sheet combined with a soft sponge
• The result is a long pips-out rubber ideal for long range heavy chopping strokes with maximum control
• This rubber is recommended for defenders who wish to chop balls using heavy backspin and attack with variation
• Pairs best with Innershield Layer ZLF, Hadraw Shield, Petr Korbel, Gionis Carbon Allround, and other Butterfly blades

Dignics guides your play to a more advanced level. The essence is the combination of Spring Sponge X, the advanced version of Spring Sponge which has more elasticity; the uniquely composed top sheet, with strengthened abrasion, proves great resistance on the surface, providing the feeling of holding the ball at impact. Adopting pimple code No. 180, an effective balance between spin and speed is achieved. Dignics 80 is recommended for the all-round player who seeks success from whatever distance away from the table.

With a sponge that is just barely softer than the Tenergy line, one also has exceptional feel on their shots, helping to place pushes and attacks right where they are needed.

• Challenger Attack produces more spin than traditional pips out rubbers
• Perfect for players that value the spin variation that pips offer
• Well-suited for high-tempo attacking play as well as controlled allround play

R37

• Your profile is spin driven.
• Variable all distance play is your formula for success.
• As a mid to advanced level player you prefer the soft 37° sponge for allowing precise active topspin play and control.

Spin is key – and you will be inspired by the extremely curved trajectory your topspin will describe even at moderate stroke speed.

What's So Special About These New Rubbers?

• RASANTER is the most elaborate and complex rubber development ever undertaken in Germany.
• The goal was to develop a future-oriented rubber technology that allows all ambitious and technically skilled players to overcome the physical disadvantages of the 40+ ball.
• RASANTER's topsheet compensates for the rotational disadvantages of the 40+ ball, while the denser, ultra-thick sponge increases the catapult effect and compensates for the lower speed of the cell free ball.

Rasant means fast in German. Rasanter, of course, means faster. So that gives you a hint of what these new rubbers promise. But the performance advantage goes far beyond just being faster. Let's explore this new technology in depth.

What problem are these rubbers trying to solve? It's been almost 3 years since the changeover to the 40+ poly balls. These new balls are now the standard ball used in all sanctioned tournaments. Compared to the celluloid 40 ball that preceded it, the 40+ ball is about 0.5 mm larger in diameter on average. In addition, the poly material is slicker and smoother than celluloid. Combined, these two characteristics result in a loss of spin and speed when identical force is applied to a 40+ poly ball compared to the celluloid 40 ball.

Ever since the switchover to poly balls, table tennis manufacturers have been trying to make up for that loss. andro has now done so with the introduction of their Rasanter series.

But What Exactly Makes These New Rubbers So Much Better?

First, let's take a look at the topsheet. andro engineers have significantly thinned down the topsheet to only 1.7 mm thick. This extremely thin profile, combined with a new pimple geometry, results in a larger contact area to provide a significant spin gain even at low impact speeds.

Rasanter offers two topsheet versions: V (for Velocity) and R (for Rotation). The pimple geometry is the difference between these two. The V version has smaller pimples spaced farther apart than the R version, which has fatter pimples arranged more closely together. The V pimple geometry maximizes the catapult effect of the sponge, while the R version maximizes the contact area with the ball and allows for stronger surface tension.

The topsheet's surface grip has also been enhanced. Still a grippy European-style top sheet, not a super-sticky Chinese-style topsheet. It has a glossy finish with superior grip to other European-style rubbers.

Next, let's move on to the sponge layer. The sponge developed for Rasanter has a smaller cell structure compared to all other Tensor sponges. This results in a bigger catapult effect for a noticeable speed increase. In addition, by making the topsheet thinner, andro can make the sponge layer thicker. Their new Ultramax sponge is a luxuriously thick 2.3 mm, the thickest available. So smaller cell structure and denser, thicker sponge means more power potential.

Andro offers their sponge in a variety of densities to suit virtually all attacking and all-round playing styles. The V version comes in 42 or 47 hardness sponge; whereas, the R version comes in 37, 42, 47, or 50. 37 is considered soft and is favored by players wanting to enhance the spin and control aspects of the rubber. 50 is a hard sponge and used by players with well-developed strokes who strike the ball with a lot of force and who emphasize power in their games. 42 is a medium sponge that provides more speed than 37 but retains excellent feel and control. 47 is medium hard and is favored by players who want the higher speed and extra power of a hard sponge but with more control than the 50 sponge.

Combined, the topsheet and sponge are a marvel of table tennis engineering. The 2 topsheets and 4 sponges make it possible to ideally match one of these 6 rubbers to your playing style.
