Previously used it on both side on Stiga Rosewood NTC VII penhold blade. Bad for forehand and ok backhand rpb.
For forehand, totally lack speed but spin is ok.
For backhand rpb, speed and spin is ok.
The only really good thing about this rubber is it light weight.
Physical:
Typical Butterfly packing with paper protection over rubber. Not classy like Xiom but ok. Rubber has soft sponge which is light orange and pink in color, relatively porous. Overall rubber has a very light and grippy feel to it.
Spin and speed:
Well ok… no much to be honest here. This rubber, in my opinion, is made for recreational player or very beginner in TT. As far as I know it goes with some Butterfly premade paddles. Don’t get me wrong please you can still play with this rubber but for example I would consider Palio CJ 8000 much more serious rubber then Flextra. There is some spin and speed still. Grip on the top sheet is very good.
Who should use this:
If you want to get your kid into TT then you can put this on his or hers paddle, if you play once per month you can put it on your paddle… I think you get the picture here.
Have fun and enjoy TT.
My first rubber that I glued to a racket.
I used it on the Butterfly Andrzej Grubba racket which is an ALL+ racket.
My impressions are that this is a rubber for absolute beginners, it comes in 2.0 thickness and is very light.
It does not produce enough spin, it is not fast enough, which makes the rubber very easy to use. Counter spins are very light due to the very characteristics of the rubber. Throw angle is low.
Overall, I would recommend the Butterfly Sriver instead of this rubber, because it's a better in every way for the same money.
