ZL Carbon is a woven combination of carbon fiber and ZL fiber; carbon fiber has a high reaction level and the ZL Fiber provides strength, elasticity, and lightness. ZL Carbon, the super fiber, gives the blade a high level of performance.

ZL Fiber has a detailed molecular configuration that is strong and elastic. Its ratio is 10% lower than carbon fiber, thus making the blade both light and with a high performance level.

Arylate-Carbon is a special material created with a woven combination of Arylate and carbon. Blades using Arylate-Carbon have power, speed and control.

Arylate provides shock absorption for the blade. Lightness is a major characteristic with 75% being carbon fiber.

TAMCA ULC employs many carbon fibers but only lengthwise. Usually for carbon sheets, fibers are woven evenly in every direction. Therefore, TAMCA ULC is light but does not sacrifice speed.

TAMCA 5000 (Carbon Fiber) is strong and light; six times stronger and one fifth in weight compared with iron and steel. Blades using TAMCA 5000 are light and strong with high elasticity and enable high performance.

T-Tec technology exposes the wood to extreme heat during the manufacturing process. The heat changes the chemical composition of the wood making the blade extremely stable and very durable. The cell structure of the wood is tightly compacted which reduces the weight of the blade, increases the hardness and greatly reduces its ability to absorb moisture.

Glass Fiber blade technology is similar to Carbon, speed and stability is increased by the use of Glass Fiber. But compared to Carbon, Glass Fiber is not as hard and offers more feeling. The Maze Passion shakehand blade offers Glass Fiber layers in addition to high class Abachi wood.

Spring Sponge technology - the most notable feature of Butterfly's 'Spring Sponge' is a sense of holding balls, which belongs to a different category to any other existing rubbers. 'Spring Sponge' was realized by the exquisite material composition and contraction like a spring. You can control spin, speed and direction of the ball at will. This sponge will make you feel as if you controlled the ball.

'Energy Red': The Symbol of Our Devotion
It took us 10 years to put 'Spring Sponge' into a practical use. Compared with existing table tennis rubbers, 'Spring Sponge' has a different contraction in compounding and it was very difficult for us to make it stabilized. On top of that, the difference of the quality between the trial and the mass production required repeated experiment of the production process. It was at this moment that our BUTTERFLY TECHNICAL CENTER was built, which is a comprehensive facility for researching and developing rubbers from the beginning to establishment of manufacturing technique. With the most advanced technology and high-level researching system brought us the solution of many difficult cases and the establishment of manufacturing know-how. The unique red color of 'Spring Sponge' is called 'Energy Red' and symbolizes BUTTERFLY's latest technology and devotion to lead the table tennis world. View Spring Sponge Rubbers

High Tension Rubbers developed by BUTTERFLY's peculiar technology are excellent in quality and strength, not to mention their repulsion force in hitting ball. In general, the more we put tension on a rubber, the more easily its surface tears. If a rubber's surface is not intense enough, its brim can be easily broken and the surface cannot withstand even rallies, which does not work at all. BUTTERFLY's High Tension rubbers have both the super-high performance players expect and the intensity and quality table tennis rallies require. Our energy-built-in technology is the secret of their popularity and it makes a clear departure from others.

Our Duty to Guide Table Tennis
BUTTERFLY's High Tension rubber is a super high performance rubber developed by our peculiar technology to put energy built-in. Since the release of BRYCE in 1997, High Tension rubbers have won a lot of major titles inside and outside of Japan, including World Table Tennis Championships and Olympics. High Tension rubbers have got a lot of support from many top players with its exquisite high performance and high quality, which are obviously different to other rubbers categorized as 'Tension Series' and made its mark on the history of table tennis equipment. High Tension rubbers are still in progress and the technology has been succeeded into BRYCE SPEED and TENERGY. High Tension rubbers carry our development concept to win titles at world-class competitions and our duty as a leading company to guide table tennis to the cleaner sport. View High Tension Rubbers
