For the Butterfly fans, we've created a list of proven & highly recommended Butterfly blade & rubber combinations.
There are 2 kinds of Butterfly bats, the so called 'pre-made' bats which you'll find in the sports stores, and the Custom bats used by club players & professionals. Although the premade bats are usually cheaper, the quality is much lower, and really no better than that of other much cheaper brands.
However the custom Butterfly bats are amongst the highest quality bats you can buy, and this is what Butterfly is famous for. OOAK shop is one of the few authorised Butterfly distributors in Australia, so you can be sure you get the genuine article (there are many cheap fakes on the market), and that it's professionally assembled.
Top Butterfly table tennis bats:
Beginner Butterfly table tennis bat
The Timo Boll allround is a good quality blade with high control, offering good feel and enough speed for beginner players. The Flextra rubbers are quite easy to use, with not too much friction, so opponent's spin is a little easier to handle.
Beginner to Intermediate Butterfly table tennis bat
A step up in speed, for both the rubbers and blade, this bat is still suitable for beginners that train regularly or intermediate players. By sacrifising some control, the bat has both more speed and spin ability, but it's a little more sensitive spin, and not as easy to control, and offer more power to put the ball away.
Intermediate to advanced Butterfly table tennis bat
Higher quality all-Japan-made blade & rubbers, this is a proven combination used by a large number of players worldwide. The blade is OFF- in speed, which means it's offensive oriented, yet still offers decent control for more defensive or control play. The rubbers are for an allround attack style game, that focussed on placement, spin and control, while offering enough power to put the ball away.
Advanced+ Butterfly table tennis bat
A powerful carbon blade for aggressive drives and smashes. Although this bat can still produce loads of spin, it's not so sensitive to incoming spin, and it's biggest strenght lies in blocking & driving the ball. The high tensioned Rozena rubber combined with the powerful carbon blade provide enough power for the most agressive players.
Advanced+ Butterfly table tennis bat
Another very powerful and premium quality combination, used by many top level and Elite table tennis players worldwide. The Arylate carbon provide the sweetspot and power of a carbon blade, yet better feel and dwell time like a wood blade. The Tenergy 05 is one of the top rubbers for a high spin game with loads of power when combined with the Viscaria blade.
Another very powerful and premium quality combination, used by top German Player Timo Boll and several other top players worldwide. The Arylate carbon provide the sweetspot and power of a carbon blade, yet better feel and dwell time like a wood blade. The Tenergy 05 is one of the top rubbers for a high spin game with loads of power when combined with the Timo Boll ALC blade.
