Butterfly TB5 Alpha Pro-Line Table Tennis Racket | Medium Fast Blade And Rubber Combination | Pro-Line Series | Recommended For Advanced Tournament Level Players

The TB5 Alpha will offer excellent feel and control and good speed on your attacking shots. Aibiss is a high-friction rubber that has a specialized top sheet with a pimple shape that enables heavy spin and is combined with a hard sponge; this results in high speed as well as devastating spin potential. Aibiss, with heavy spin and a high throw angle, is recommended for the player using precise technique on the table and in counter attacking play.

PLEASE NOTE: Ultimately, most players find a blade that best suits their own individual and unique style of play and will use that blade for many years. If properly cared for, the blade will last years. However, the rubber will wear out over time and need to be replaced. When that day comes, DO NOT THROW THIS RACKET AWAY! The glue that is used to assemble Butterfly Pro-Line rackets will allow you to easily remove the old rubber. You can have the rubber professionally installed or you can even do it yourself! Replace with the same rubber or upgrade to one that offers more speed, or more spin, or both!
