(by Steve Hopkins)

This is a Butterfly Favorite. Egypt’s Omar Assar, World No. 38, explains his favorite shot. Assar has given his jump smash a name: the “Assar Boom”.

A message from Omar Assar. Assar uses a customized Butterfly inner fiber carbon (very similar to the ALC Innerforce Blade) and Tenergy 05. Check out the Timo Boll ALC ST Pro-Line (an ALC blade with Tenergy 05 pre-assembled)
