Butterfly Kumpuru
Blade description:
This composite blade utilizes a 3+2 construction featuring Tamca 5000 carbon layers. Despite the inclusion of carbon, it is noted for being among the softer options within the T5000 series, providing a distinctive feel that incorporates a degree of vibration. It offers a balanced profile that performs effectively for both offensive-oriented topspin play and defensive consistency.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Dwell Time: The blade is characterized by a soft contact feel and excellent dwell time, allowing for better grip on the ball during spin-heavy strokes.
- Precision and Control: It is highly regarded for its precision in shot placement and high level of control, making it suitable for tactical play.
- Speed and Stiffness: While classified as having medium speed, it performs at an offensive level. It provides enough stiffness to facilitate solid, low-angle blocking while retaining sufficient power for aggressive backhand spin.
- Versatility: The combination of stability and feel makes this blade adaptable for players transitioning from all-round defensive styles to more active, topspin-based offensive games.

BTY Kumpuru is the best blade I have ever tried in the medium price range. It offers awesome control and precise shots. It strikes a great balance between speed and control. I highly recommend it for those who play an all-round style.

Very good control, stiff because of the carbon layers, but not as much as the other blades from the T5000 series.
The front of the blade says it is one of the softest T5000 blades, and I think that’s true. It’s quite soft, with some vibrations.
This blade is qualified by Butterfly as medium speed, but it’s fast. I would rate it as an Off blade. Not much slower than TBS.
