Butterfly Aibiss

Rubber description:

The Butterfly Aibiss rubber is a uniquely designed table tennis overlay that caters to players seeking a blend of control and spin. With a speed rating of 105 and an impressive spin capability of 110, this rubber stands out in its category. Its sturdy construction, characterized by a hardness rating of 9.9, provides players with a solid platform for executing powerful strokes, although it requires considerable effort to unleash its full potential. The Aibiss is particularly well-suited for those who excel in technique and can harness its capabilities effectively.

When it comes to tackiness, the Aibiss rubber boasts a rating of 4.7, lending itself to exceptional spin generation during play. Players appreciate its short game performance, which offers excellent control for intricate shots. However, the rubber’s high weight (classified as medium) can lead to a heavier feel on the paddle, which may be a drawback for some, especially in fast-paced situations. Despite its durability rating of 8.7, indicating longevity, players have noted that the rubber’s performance may degrade faster than expected compared to higher-end models.

Alternatives to the Aibiss might include other Butterfly offerings such as Dignics 09C or Yasaka Rising Dragon, though both may come with a higher price tag. Players transitioning from European to Chinese rubbers may find the Aibiss a good intermediary. While the Aibiss might not cater to everyone, its unique characteristics could resonate well with experienced players looking for a challenging yet rewarding rubber experience.

This rubber provides an opportunity to try a hybrid from Butterfly without investing in Dignics 09C. While its characteristics fall slightly short of the aforementioned overlay, it offers a similar feel, which is one of its key advantages.

However, a significant drawback of this rubber is its limited lifespan. While Dignics 09C transitions to 05 over time, this overlay deteriorates to a point where it becomes disposable.

This rubber offers a unique sensation due to its extremely hard sponge. To achieve high speed, you will need to apply significant force to your strokes. It evokes memories of the earlier PF-4 version. Its playstyle closely resembles that of an unboosted Chinese rubber. The reason for BTY’s production of this rubber, which is characterized by its heaviness, hardness, and decent but not exceptional control, remains unclear.

The rubber excels in short games thanks to its excellent spin capabilities. However, it lacks speed unless you exert a considerable amount of effort. When used on a Timo Boll Spirit blade, it contributes to a heavier weight and a somewhat unresponsive feeling for backhand shots. This rubber may not suit everyone’s preferences, but it exhibits high quality and may appeal to certain players due to its specific characteristics.

Looping with this rubber demands a proficient technique to optimize its performance. It effectively counters serves with its impressive spin capabilities. Despite its unconventional nature, this rubber stands out as a peculiar entry within the Butterfly lineup.
