Butterfly Primorac 2017

Blade description:

This is an all-wood, five-ply offensive blade designed with a focus on touch, spin generation, and feedback. Its flexible composition allows the blade head to bend during contact, which aids in lifting backspin and executing precise, rotational topspin shots. The blade is well-suited for close-to-the-table offensive play, offering enough control for beginners and intermediate players to develop their stroke mechanics.

Playing Characteristics

  • Feel and Feedback: The blade is characterized by a soft feel and significant vibration, providing the user with clear feedback upon ball contact.
  • Performance: While classified as an offensive blade, it functions best in a moderate speed range. It excels at controlled, spin-oriented play rather than raw power from mid-to-long distance.
  • Construction: The model features a traditional all-wood build. Physical specifications may vary by production batch, with observed thicknesses around 5.6 mm and weights reaching approximately 93g.
  • Handling: The flexible nature of the wood contributes to a high dwell time, facilitating safe ball placement and accuracy during aggressive exchanges.

The Primorac is one of the best blades I’ve played, and it’s perfect for topspin. It offers very good control.

The blade is quite flexible, which causes the bat’s top to bend, allowing for safe placement of the ball on the table. It generates a lot of spin, and the ball’s trajectory is very rotational and precise.

The blade is classified as Off, but in my opinion, it’s more of an Off- or even All+. It’s definitely not faster than, for example, the Tibhar Stratus Powerwood. It’s a good blade for beginners and amateurs.

It has a lot of vibrations and a nice feeling. This makes it soft and not too fast, which is good for beginners to intermediate players.

Easy to lift upon arriving at the table. When I paired it with an MXP on the Forehand and an MXS on the backhand, it produced good spin and power. However, it is not particularly powerful when playing two steps away from the table. It is an excellent blade for offensive play over the table.
