This is a very beginner rubber, squarely in the recreational range. It's good only for your first recreational racket, but once you want to play more seriously you'll need much more spin.
I was fool enough to buy this racket from "star_sports" in eBay; please dont buy this from them. This is definitely a defeat: I bought a "LKT Recoil" table tennis racket in Toronto 8 years ago for $20 which is WAY better than the new "Butterfly Yuki" that I got from "star_sports" in eBay (no judgment for other eBay sellers).
This rubber comes with Butterfly premade rackets, depending on the version the sponge is different, in BTY TBC201 iis a super soft sponge without speed but a lot of control, I had a TBC401 and the Yuki version in this racket is the perfect starter rubber, good amount of speed and control, a tacky and medium grip topsheet that allows you to generate a good amount of spin
Perfect starter rubber - comes on Butterfly premeds. Has everything needed to learn the basics. A definite step up from cheap $5 bats. Yuki rubber has a bit of spin, quite light. Control biased to help you get shots in. Tacky enough to pickup a ball on the bottom though that fades after a couple of weeks. Will be good for a fairly flat, accuracy based play - drives, pushes, smashes. Once you get to the point of topspin loops you know it'll be time to upgrade. Comes with a bat cover to keep the rubber new. Lasted me 2-3 years of casual play.
