Butterfly Flarestorm

A group of players play short pimpled rubbers due to their characteristics of quick rebound and spinless returns of the ball. The largest meritof Flarestorm, however, is its very fast speed. If you hit a ball with Flarestorm, the fast speed will be added to the low and direct ball trajectory, which is highly offensive. Flarestorm, a high tension short pimpled rubber, can impart the ball with such high speed that its explosiveness matches that of a powerful topspin ball from a soft pips-im rubber.

Flarestorm combines the classic short pip characteristics of quick rebound and flat drives with our High Tension Technology. The result is a rubber that can match the explosiveness of a powerful topspin drive from the fastest inverted rubbers. Flarestorm controls your opponent’s spin well and offers a high level of control in the short game..

High Tension rubbers have tension built in to the sponge and top-sheet. This helps reduce the amount of energy lost at the point of impact. In essence, it turns the speed of your opponents shot into additional power for you. In short, High Tension rubbers are fast, VERY FAST. The first such rubber was Bryce, introduced in 1997. It is by far the most widely used rubber among Butterfly’s sponsored players including the 2003 World Champion, Werner Schlager(AUT).
