★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.).
