Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000

This composite blade features a 3+2 construction, utilizing Hinoki outer layers over carbon fiber. It is widely recognized as a high-speed, offensive-oriented instrument designed for advanced players who possess precise, high-quality technique. Due to its significant speed and stiffness, it is not recommended for beginners or those lacking consistent footwork, as it provides limited forgiveness for technical errors.

Playing Characteristics

• Speed and Power: The blade is exceptionally fast, capable of delivering powerful smashes and deep, penetrating loops from mid-to-long distance. Its stiff structure provides a solid, uncompromising feel during aggressive flat hits and blocks.
• Feel and Dwell: While the blade is stiff, the Hinoki outer layers offer a unique contact sensation. Although the dwell time is relatively short, it remains sufficient for generating spin when paired with appropriate rubber.
• Control: Control is considered challenging due to the high-velocity nature of the blade. Players often find that they must adjust their closing angles to prevent shots from sailing long. It performs best when paired with rubbers that allow the player to “tame” the speed, such as medium-to-hard spin-oriented rubbers or certain soft, controlled options depending on personal preference.
• Versatility: While it excels in offensive exchanges, blocks, and drives, its performance in the short game (pushes/flicks) requires a high degree of touch and accuracy. The blade is favored by players looking for a consistent, professional-grade tool for an aggressive, modern attacking style.
