This is exactly what an all-wood blade should feel like.
It's like a slightly harder version of the Acoustic — just barely, though.
That slight difference in hardness makes it a really good match for firmer tension rubbers like the 05 or Rakza 7.
Also, the grip is unusual for Butterfly — it's more oval-shaped, similar to what you often see from STIGA, and it fits snugly in your hand for a solid grip.
You could call this one of the finished forms of the 5-ply blade.

This is a really well-balanced rubber.
It's less prone to knuckle (no-spin) balls than the plain version, but it's still easier to produce knuckle balls with than an average short pips rubber.
It's easy to put spin on, and easy to get knuckle balls too. Speed is decent as well.
If you're not going all-out attacking with your backhand, this rubber is plenty for a backhand short pips setup.
With the 5.0mm sponge, the ball can sometimes sit on the rubber a bit too long, so the plain version gets the edge there.If you're using a 7-ply blade like the Clipper Wood or SK7 Classic, this 2.1 sponge is a perfect match.

This is a well-balanced, properly "Yasaka" blade - it's been a while since one like this came along.
The bounce is a bit stronger than the All-Round Evolution.
And that amount of bounce is just perfect.
For feel, spin, and control, the All-Round Evolution is good, but its bounce is admittedly weak. On the other hand, something like the Cellulose Wood or the Waldner OFF bounces a bit too much. The Korbel is too heavy.
This blade hits that sweet spot that always seemed like it should exist but never quite did.
It fills the gap in the lineup of 5-ply blades.The feel on contact is satisfying in that way that really says "made in Sweden."
Put a firmer tension rubber on it, and it has more than enough performance for advanced players too.
If more 5-ply blades like this come out, that alone should help raise the level of junior high players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used this glued to an inner carbon blade.
It's a very "modern" rubber in the sense that it's strong against topspin but needs some technique against backspin.
The sheet has strong tension, and against an incoming drive, it grips the ball firmly enough that even if you angle the blade straight down, the drive still flies forward properly.
Despite that, it doesn't really give you a "holding" feeling, and if anything that makes meet-style shots easier too.
Spinning it, curving it, smacking it — every shot in a rally is easy, and it still puts solid spin on the ball.
You can control how high your own arc is.Serves also bite easily. Unlike softer rubbers, it's easy to put a sharp spin on the serve and keep it low on the table.
That said, for pushes and stops the ball comes off a bit quickly, so you need to pay attention to angle and touch.
It does bite well, though.For drives against backspin, the ball comes off the rubber fast, so you need an accurate angle and swing.
But as long as you get the angle right, the good grip means the drive goes in well.The chiquita is the same way — as long as you can make thin contact, it goes in easily.
Up through the third and fourth ball you need a bit of technique.
But once you're into the rally after that, it's a rubber that's really easy to play with.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Compared to similarly priced rubbers like Vega, Factive, and Fly Att, this one has a slight edge in spin.
Even experienced players can use it comfortably on their backhand.
Since it produces a good arc, it's easy to lift backspin balls with your drive,
and while it's on the softer side, it's not overly mushy — it keeps just the right amount of firmness, so it doesn't lose out against topspin either.Pushes also cut nicely. It doesn't bounce much on light hits, so receiving is easy too.
That said, since the bounce is a bit weak, it's a little tough to put on the forehand with a 5-ply blade.
A 7-ply blade like the Swat or Allround Classic 7 seems like a better match.
It's also a good rubber for the backside penhold style.
Naturally it works for beginners, but it's also good enough for advanced players who are just using it as a "connecting" rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
