Butterfly Ilius S introduces a completely new long pips top sheet paired with an innovative sponge. When long pips rubber features a hard sponge, the pimples bend more, enhancing the overall effect. Typically, harder sponges can reduce control as ball speed increases. However, Absorber Sponge Heavy effectively absorbs the opponent's ball energy even on hard impacts, ensuring high stability while maximizing the long pimpled effect.
Moreover, the durability of the top sheet has more than doubled compared to Feint Long III, thanks to advanced compounds that enhance both durability and performance. The top sheet boasts relatively firm pimples with the highest aspect ratio allowed, optimizing the rubber's unique characteristics.
The combination of the top sheet and Absorber Sponge Heavy facilitates effective push strokes and enables players to handle low defensive shots with heavy or minimal spin. Recommended for defensive players, Ilius S allows for subtle adjustments and stability during rallies.
