Butterfly Spin Art
Rubber description:
This rubber is a hybrid that combines a slightly tacky topsheet with a firm, high-density Spring Sponge. It is designed for advanced players who possess sound technique, requiring active footwork and full body power transfer to maximize its potential.
Playing Characteristics
- Spin Potential: The rubber excels at generating high levels of spin, particularly on serves, pushes, and opening loops. Its tackiness and structural stiffness allow for significant backspin on defensive strokes and heavy topspin on attacks.
- Speed and Dwell: While not as immediately fast as softer, non-tacky tensors, it offers a medium-to-fast output when struck with authority. The hard sponge provides a solid, direct feel that rewards powerful, committed strokes rather than lazy or passive motions.
- Control and Short Game: It provides high levels of control in the short game, making it effective for service returns, flicks, and touch shots. It is less sensitive to incoming spin than many soft, bouncy rubbers, allowing for precise placement.
- Technical Requirements: Due to its harder, heavier construction, it is not a forgiving rubber. It functions best when the player uses a proper brushing technique. It is generally recommended for experienced players or those transitioning from traditional Chinese-style rubbers who seek a balance between tackiness and modern sponge performance.

I use Spin Art 1.7 on my backhand for control and for killing third balls near the net. On my forehand, I use Tenergy 05 Hard. I used to play with Tenergys on my backhand, but they were too sensitive for incoming spin and weird serves. I switched to Shrivers Original, which helped a lot, but I missed the spin. I am now using Spin Art.
You have to get used to Spin Art because you need to brush the ball. You need to have good technique; if you donât, do not try this rubber. Forehand strokes and backhand strokes differ from each other. This is my strategy with the modern ball. Hard rubbers are the way to go; forget about soft rubbers.

Very problematic rubber. Itâs speedy, but nowhere near the level of Chinese rubbers. Itâs very uncontrollable compared to Hurricane 3 or Tenergy 64 on Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk blade.
Very few gears. Thereâs absolutely nothing it does better than H3, and it has almost no good characteristics borrowed from Tenergy. Neither loops nor chops are satisfactory. Only blocks were slightly acceptable, but still with very little control and mostly only a long trajectory.
Balls are easy to receive by the opponent. Itâs like the rubber is absorbing all the useful power you generate, and youâre left with just a fast, pretty simple ball without any room for variations. Footwork makes sense, but only up to the moment you place the ball on the table.
Trying to increase the power results in lots of misses, regardless of the quality of the stroke preparation. In other words, the effort is not worth it.
Maybe it doesnât play well on the JSH, but itâs still one of the worst rubbers I have ever used. I also tried it on the Butterfly Korbel SK7 (and played against it), but it didnât show any significant improvement over the JSH. Moreover, its price makes the overall impression even worse.

COMBINATION OF Tenergy 05 + DHS Neo Hurricane 3:
- It has a tremendous amount of power.
- Deadly Attacker, suitable for hard hitters.
- Attacks like a Super Croc!
