Butterfly Tackiness Drive

Review of Butterfly Tackiness DriveServing with this works wonders, especially with thicker sponge... which isn't a problem since you can go to max thickness and it'll still feel lacking in speed. This is basically the only real problem I've got with this rubber. You'll need to be able to bring the power yourself. If you don't have the skill to transfer power from the legs and waist into your swing, then you better be good at placing the fast balls at unexpected spots or they won't hurt. In addition to this, it's also a very crappy rubber to smash with. Grab a sriver for the above and you'll have much easier time.Still, it's a great rubber for spin. Good spin on serves and during really with low skill. Slow but sick spin with a high skill level. Receiving serves has never been a problem for me with this rubber. Control was basically all I could wish for no matter the thickness of the sponge. Blocking is heavenly with this rubber and I play opponents that hit their drives like smashes. No problem returning this while even reducing some of the pace as long as you're in place. It's a shame the quallity of the rubber don't last for more than half a year or so, as where my sriver and tackiness C easily lasted longer than a year. Basically I'd only recomment this piece of art to defence and allround type of players that can generate a lot of own power and also go more for spin than speed. I would never recommend this to a new player. It can seem like a great pick, probably lets you jump a level at that point but it's likely to create a flawed technique unless you got a good coach that has enough time to correct and assist you every step of the way... which is rather rare. Ps. I played this on two off-type blades for a few years. Aug 31, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Butterfly Bryce FXGood but not my cup of tea. The rubber is to soft, the speed is to high and the arc is to little. Bit if you like soft speedy rubbers with a low arc it's pretty good and consistent.Liked it a bit better on the BH than the FH. Aug 31, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Butterfly Glayzer 09CPlayed with a bunch of different rubbers and this one really stood out. It's a harder rubber and has a completely different feel from Dignics versions I tried alongside. I welcome a less jumpy rubber.The spin and control were fantastic. Both serve and receive were good also. It's not the fast but it's not to slow either. I struggle to find a real negative, even the price is doable. I've decided to play it on my forehand for a while and see where it goes. If my feelings change I'll edit this post accordingly. Jan 24, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

KTL (LKT) Rapid Speed

Review of KTL (LKT) Rapid SpeedGot this as a gift and I wasn't expecting much but I gave it a few weeks after my old rubber wore out. The first two weeks it played like garbage but I was told it would get better and it did. The rubber really needs some playtime before it gets usable. I'm usually buying the classics from butterfly but this feels like a sriver for the new 40+ era. Don't know why this is called rapid speed though. It's not that fast at all. Could get off plenty of spin at serve aswell. It's really allroundFeb 29, 2020 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
