Butterfly Andrzej Grubba (Classic Design)
Blade description:
The Butterfly Andrzej Grubba Classic Design blade is a versatile choice for players seeking an all-around performance with a distinctive touch. Constructed from five wood plies, this blade strikes a balance between flexibility and control, making it ideal for players who prioritize precision and feel in their gameplay. With a thickness of 5.8 mm and an average weight of 81 grams, it provides a lightweight option without sacrificing necessary speed. This blade is categorized as ALL+ because of its moderate speed rating of 5.6, enabling players to execute offensive strategies while still maintaining strong control during rallies.
While the Andrzej Grubba blade showcases good speed, its control rating of 9.1 highlights its exceptional handling capabilities, particularly during intricate plays close to the table. The bladeâs unique composition results in significant vibration upon striking the ball, offering a responsive feedback loop that enhances the playerâs ability to adjust their techniques. Its flexibility allows for effective offensive maneuvers, especially when paired with high-quality rubbers like Tenergy or Gewo, leading to impressive spin and power without overwhelming pace.
For players looking for alternatives in the same category, there are several other all-around blades worth considering; however, the Andrzej Grubba stands out for its remarkable consistency and balance. Though it may lack the outright speed of more offensive blades, its adaptability makes it a reliable choice for developing players and those who value control in their game style. Whether one is looking to enhance their skills or maintain a solid performance, the Butterfly Andrzej Grubba Classic Design is a commendable investment for any table tennis enthusiast.

Very underrated blade, this wood has superb control and is flexible, although it is not designed to play with long pimples ox. This wood shines with piranha ox on the backhand and Gewo El Pro 53 on the forehand. When the backhand side is varnished with a thick layer of varnish, it becomes much better for ox long pimples. One of the rare woods that is slow enough for long pimples ox on the backhand and, on the other hand, very fast and flexible for a real spinny attack on the forehand. And yes, with Gewo Nexxus Pro Hard Smash, it is also excellent to execute.

I play with an older version with a black gold sign. Itâs an excellent blade for hard rubbers. Even though itâs only a wood blade, its feel is comparable to the ALC carbon series. When blocking against topspin, it performs very well. The game has excellent control. It has a nice power and control combination. Maybe this is because the blade is an older one, but I would rate it as an off- blade. This blade makes me very confident during rallies.
I have paired it with Tenergy 05 red on the backhand and DHS Gold Arc black on the forehand. All shots are easy to execute. I highly recommend seeking out older Grubba versions. My Viscaria is now a thing of the past. With the Grubba, I feel more confident. It gives me more opportunities to develop my game in the best possible way. Find your Grubba, and youâll be a winner.

Review: Old big Grubba ALL +
This blade is dedicated to our Polish table tennis legend. There are several versions of this blade. The best known is the old black sign. It is great for learning the game. However, in todayâs fast tennis, it is unfortunately too slow. It is best played with hard rubbers.
