Surprisingly this cheap Sapphira can play like the normal DHS Harricane except it was lack of speed that can kill the opponent especially close to the table game where giving chance to the opponent to attack however in contrast if you loop hard enough it may create the opportunity for you to attack. With this price tag please do not expect too much from this rubber but using for training purposes it works well for you. Also, I found it only suitable to use for the forehand if you put it on the backhand it does not generate the power to kill your opponent. Therefore, do not expect with lesser strokes to end the game.

My go too rubber, Butterfly Sapphira is a brilliant choice for beginners and intermediate player's and can even be considered against veterans; it's great for blocking, good for punching and quite decent for looping. Sapphira shines most at it's counter hitting abilities alongside it's blocking, it may not be the fastest but it's controlled offensive prowness is not to be underestimated. A great choice for a short pimple bat and not bad on both sides for inverted, at least for a beginner or rising novice. Also great control for pushing just don't try and bh loop far from the table with it. Highly recommended, and fairly cheap.

This is exactly what Butterfly describes it as. It is an excellent all round rubber. Depending on the blade you use, the power of the shots can be quite high. I had a lot of fun using it with the 38mm ball. It works well with the 40mm ball as well. Both chops and topspin can be quite skinny. The control is very good as well. No issues with short game, or 1 m back from the table either. Butterfly today recommends it as a beginner forehand rubber. It surely beats the kind if equipment I had as a beginner. I highly recommend it for it mix of control, spin and speed.

I don't know if disappointed would be the word, because I have seen butterfly's rubber chart and this one is definitely on the lower end of the chart. I got the 1.9 version, of this rubber, and although it has some great control and feels to it, it lacks quite a lot in power and speed, but then again that is not the fault of the rubber, simply just a difference in play styles. This is why I am rating it as such. Overall after playing with it for a while, I would have just gotten both sides of my paddle as the aibiss 2.1.

good for blocks and punches. got one on my amultart zlc. its controllable but the speed is there when you need it, maybe its because of my blade too. reliable both close and far from the table game especially for blocks and counters,. not reactive to spinny serves. like an anti. which is a good thing for returns, but a bad news if you are to loop a heavy underspin ball.

a bit more offensive potential than the normal sriver, looping is easier, heavyer than the norm is for rubbers like this but even though sponge is soft, it has many gears: blocks go short, kills are faster than you would expect. at priced at only 30 USD a sheet, it is butterflys 3rd most sensibly priced product, flextra being 1st and feint soft( for me) is the 2nd.
