What's new
Butterfly's Ricosheet topsheet uses short, densely packed pimples designed to grip the ball and transfer energy into spin. The thick 2.7 mm Spring Sponge X version is aimed at maximum power. Butterfly's figures put spin at the top of its scale.
Butterfly hardness numbers are not on the same scale as Chinese or European figures. 44 on Butterfly's scale is medium-hard.
Who it suits
Advanced and tournament players with heavy, spin-led strokes, especially from mid-distance.
Butterfly's best spin rubber today and the choice of the world No.1. Premium price, premium result.
