Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000
Blade description:
The Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000 is a high-performance table tennis blade that seamlessly combines speed and control, making it a favorite among aggressive players. Crafted with a sophisticated composition, this blade features three plies of wood (with a Kiri core and outer layers made from Cypress or Hinoki) paired with two plies of Tamca 5000 carbon. This unique blend enhances the overall feel, offering exceptional playability for those who like to dominate the game with powerful shots.
Weighing about 92 grams and measuring 6.9mm in thickness, the Primorac Carbon falls into the medium-heavy category, providing stability without sacrificing maneuverability. Players will find its stiffness rated at 7.3, which ensures that this blade responds promptly during fast exchanges and powerful smashes, though some may note a bit of a learning curve in terms of control, especially for loops. The hardness rating of 8 gives the blade a solid touch, allowing players to execute aggressive strokes with considerable confidence.
While the Primorac Carbon is recognized for its extraordinary speed—with a rated speed of 9.5—it offers enough control (rated at 6.7) to satisfy those who possess advanced skills. However, for those still developing their game, it might seem a bit too fast. Players looking for alternatives with a slightly softer touch may consider other options like the Butterfly Timo Boll ALC or the Donic Waldner Senso Carbon, which offer differing balances between control and speed. In essence, the Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000 is tailored for experienced players who demand speed and power in their game while maintaining the option for effective blocking and spin.

This is a great blade, it has great speed and with the right rubbers, good control. It feels light and fast, if you don’t have good footwork I don’t recommend it. What I don’t like is that its vibration is high, it feels too much when hitting the ball. It takes time to adjust to if you are intermediate, but once you have it, it is lethal.

This is one sweet racket. It offers good speed and surprisingly sublime control. I’ve put Yasaka Mark V on the forehand side and Evolution MX-P on the backhand side. The Mark V slightly slows down the power of this blade, especially with pushes. However, on loops, smashes, and blocks, even with the control-oriented Mark V, I’m able to generate enough speed or spin when I need to, while maintaining excellent control. The backhand with the Evolution MX-P is fast, and control isn’t an issue. Blocking is absolutely terrific with this backhand side (the ball comes off real quick with control), and backhand topspin in a rally is a delight with this blade.
