Butterfly is the Japanese table tennis equipment brand that has anchored professional play since 1950, manufacturing the Tenergy and Dignics rubber families used by most top-ranked international competitors. This 54-page 2025/26 season catalog covers the full lineup — blades, rubbers, apparel — and includes the brand's signature Blade-Matrix scatter plot that turns equipment selection into a data exercise.
The technical pages are the heart of the book. Spring Sponge X and Spring Sponge cross-sections show ball compression and rebound; microscopic comparisons demonstrate Dignics' and Glayzer's abrasion resistance against traditional rubbers; the rubber education spread teaches pimples-in vs. pimples-out vs. long-pimpled vs. anti-spin physics. The Blade-Matrix scatter plot puts Viscaria, the Fan Zhendong series, and dozens of other models on a two-axis Reaction × Vibration grid color-coded by material (ZLC, ALC). A vertical weight comparison chart ranks Tenergy, Dignics, and Feint lines from light to heavy. Apparel pages (Tosy tracksuits in red/blue/black modeled by Patrick Franziska, Puro Pro in berry and gold) close the book with adult and child sizing for 2026.
For competitive players spec'ing blade-and-rubber combinations, this 54-page Japanese reference is the gold standard.
