Butterfly Bryce

As a nostalgic and after having problems to find some setup that allows me to play in forehand as before the banish of the glue I actually still use this rubber on my forehand. As it was a rubber from the glue era I use it with optimizer, the result is not the same, but it's pretty similar. The result is a high re-bounce rubber, pretty fast, with a good spin but not so grippy. So it's good for attack if you like to go for a "killer topspin", but the control in the reception of the serve or the short game can be hard to handle.

For me it was the best rubber during the apeed glue era, now I don't recommend it to the kids, I think there are better options, especially now with the plastic ball.

So for all of that it's difficult to give it numbers, as you get the rubber from the factory it's a good rubber for control, but not good for intermediate or high level players in my opinion, unless you give it some "help" with optimizer/boost.

I used Bryce during the speed glue era and It was one of the best rubbers for my game style. A lot of speed and control I remember it was a very popular rubbers that many in my old club where using. Sadly the rubber is made for the speed glue so I was a bit disappointed when trying it with a water based glue last week. I have some great memories with this rubber but I think there is some better alternatives out there that are made for the new ball and without speed glue. Because it was so good before I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
