Butterfly Ilius B Table Tennis Rubber Sheet - Professional Long Pips Rubber Sheet - Available in 0.5, 1.1, and 1.3 Sponge Thicknesses - Red or Black - Made in Japan,ILB13BK

Butterfly Ilius B is a completely new long pip top sheet with a brand new sponge, Absorber Sponge Drop. When long pips rubber has hard sponge, the pimples will bend more, thus greater effects will be obtained. Generally, the harder the sponge, the more difficult it is to control as the speed of the ball off the racket gets faster. However, Absorber Sponge Drop absorbs the energy of the opponent’s ball well even during hard impact, so you can have high stability while taking advantage of the long pimpled effect. The top sheet is also rather hard with pimples whose aspect ratio is at the highest limit permitted to extract the features of the rubber. The combination of the top sheet and Absorber Sponge Drop provides a high performance when playing a short stroke over the table, such as chop block. In addition, innovative attacking and defensive play are both possible, thus making best use of the characteristics of the long pimples, such as a low penetrating backhand with minimal spin. In addition, the durability of the top sheet has more than doubled compared to the Feint Long III, which has a similar pimple shape. This is due to the compounds used to achieve durability whilst maintaining the performance of the rubber. Surface: Long Pips-Out Speed: 6.75 Spin: 4.0 Hardness: 48 Made in Japan
