Butterfly Pan Asia

Spin:
Very slow. Provides moderate spin, but this spin can be easily countered by opponents.

Control:
Control is inconsistent, primarily due to the rubber’s extremely high throw angle. This makes it difficult to control the ball’s trajectory.

Durability:
The rubber deteriorates quickly, with a lifespan of only 2 months of regular use.

Recommendation:
Avoid purchasing this rubber due to its poor performance and short lifespan.

After being away from table tennis for many years, I picked up a decent premade paddle (Timo Boll 3000) that came with Pan Asia rubber on both sides.

This rubber is loaded with control! It’s got just enough spin to enable you to get all your strokes right. If you’re looking for speed, you won’t find it here. However, it will force you to generate speed and power with proper technique.

Overall, a great option for beginners or someone returning to the game.

After 7 years of using GKI Kung Fuu, which had lots of spin and decent control but slow speed, I decided to go for something that had less spin but more control and speed. I must say this rubber is really good for beginners whose game is not spin-based; rather, they depend on fast-paced shots.

Since the spin of this rubber is less, this is a plus point since it is not sensitive to incoming spin, and you can flick the heavy spin serves easily as well as counter loop the topspin easily. Overall, I just want to say that if you are a beginner player looking for control, this is very good rubber. However, if you love spin, this rubber is not for you since you really have to struggle to spin the ball.

Bad choice, amigo! This rubber is only good for control. Nothing else about this rubber is special.

Good for beginners looking to develop their control and variety of strokes. Also good for blocks and serves.

It is very useful for defensive players. I have one, and it works well for me. However, it is prone to developing air bubbles, which can be a problem.

Good for controlled amateur game and defensive playing near the table.

Good spin, but slow and lasts only a short time.

Doesn’t last very long. Not very powerful. OK spin. Not one of Butterfly’s good quality rubbers.
