Performance
Butterfly official, 0-100About this product
Butterfly publishes three figures for rubbers: spin, speed and throw angle. The third being trajectory rather than control matters — a higher throw sends the ball over on an arc, which lowers the chance of catching the net.
Within its own line the character shows. Its spin is short of Dignics 09C and its speed is not top of the range. It leads in nothing, yet the three figures sit close together. Not leaning in any direction is what this rubber actually offers, and why it has served as a reference point for so long.
The sponge is soft by the standards of today’s harder rubbers. Even without high swing speed the sponge compresses and the spin comes. Conversely, a player who muscles through the ball may find the sponge bottoms out before the power arrives — that is what 05 Hard, the same pip geometry at a higher hardness, is for.
On a fast outer-carbon blade its trajectory stays predictable, which is why it is so often paired that way.
What the numbers say
Inverted, 36° sponge. Its spin of 7.6 ranks 8 of 20 rubbers, on the high side. The other axes sit at a similar level, so the profile is well balanced. Its throw angle is middling. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
