This was my primary blade for some time. I prefer the size of the head, at around 153mm x 149mm, so it doesn’t feel heavy even with two Tenergy rubbers attached. The blade provides soft feelings and good control, while its speed is comparable to OFF-. When paired with two boosted Tenergy rubbers, it plays like a top-notch blade. I sold it two years ago and have missed it ever since.

After playing with blades from other brands, I realize that most Butterfly blades are tuned down (like this one), which means less catapult effect and less surprise when you hit the ball hard. However, this is also a good attribute, as it allows for a wider range of rubbers to be used, from soft to hard ones. Unfortunately, this blade is discontinued, so it’s very hard to find a replacement.

I tried it in place of Jonyer H three years ago and am still playing with it. I am happy with its speed and control. It is lightweight and gives a feeling of vibration when I block power smashes.

I got it cheap at 35 Dollars from a local sports store. I wish to continue using it for another 3-4 years before shifting to Timo Boll blade.

The lightest blade I have ever owned, it has a bit of vibration from the ball due to its light weight. However, it is very controllable with Sriver and looks awesome.
