Which Butterfly blade is suitable for beginners?

If you're set on a Butterfly blade then either of the Primorac or the Korbel would be a good call. Also, because these two are very well recognised blades, you'll have no trouble selling them if you ever want to switch to a 5+2 composite in the future.

Regarding rubbers: Sriver or Tackiness Drive are good options for a beginner. Remember, not all that long ago Sriver was the preferred (non-Chinese) rubber of most of the top players in the world - so it's not as if you'd be 'settling' for a low-grade product. Tackiness Drive didn't have the same market success as Sriver, but it's just as good a rubber - it just plays slightly differently. Back then I actually preferred it.

Rozena is the way to go if you want a Butterfly rubber.

I think so too. Sriver is outdated, not designed for 40mm ball, not to mention 40+ plastic ball post speedglue era.

Has anyone tried BTY CAF? The control assist fiber has any actual advantage or is butterfly straight up lying with the name?

I wasn't talking about the Revoldia CNF, I meant the Boll CAF which I guess should aim for beginners or intermediate players.

I can't find CAF review by Kenta, only Revoldia.

Hello Guys,

I have recently started playing and am about to join a local club. I have been doing quite a lot of research on Blades and rubbers but cant really figure out which one to get. Butterfly has really taken me in, so im highly favoured to buy from them. I have been taking the BOLL ZLC into closer consideration along with Tenergy or sriver rubbers.

Im fully aware that this choice is a complete overkill and that I could get off with a quality blade a lot cheaper.

Is the blade suitable for a beginner in a way that it wont interfere with my progress?
Which rubbers should I buy?

Thanks for your answers and have great day!

Am asking out of curiosity - what was it about Butterfly that has taken you in over other brands? I've never played with Butterfly gear before. Am a sucker for the Chinese gear (being Chinese myself haha). My latest blade (Stiga) is the first time I've strayed away from Chinese gear.

Somebody let me try his Harimoto Innerforce, and it was super flimsy and bouncy. It felt really strange and unreliable. My shots were just flying everywhere.

Is that normal?

Is this a joke 🤣🤣🤣
If you do actually feel it’s too fast. You’re probably good enough to not ask this sort of question.
I’ve never seen a beginner complaining a carbon blade too fast. I loved Sardius when I started. Lucky it was just too expensive.
