★The values ​​representing the characteristics of Butterfly rackets are based on tests conducted by Butterfly's Research and Development Department up until January 2025.
★The racket characteristics comparison shows all rackets except for rubber-type rackets, but does not show information by grip or playing style (attacking, fast attack, etc.).
★The repulsion and vibration characteristics in the characteristics comparison chart are quantified by measuring the bounce and vibration frequency of the racket. The higher the value, the better the bounce and generally the less it will affect the hand.

For owners of models other than Prime:

The Google Sheets image takes you to a spreadsheet that gives the settings for each drill. While these won’t be the exact settings for the Control Panel on your robot, they will give you an idea of where to start, and you’ll need to adjust from there. At the bottom, we’ve included the ranges and defaults for the setting on a Prime so you can compare these to the ranges and defaults on your own robot. In general, default settings should give you a similar ball regardless of what model you have. If a drill has a change of speed, spin, or trajectory, you will be unable to replicate that drill on a Basic or Start model.
