Dignice Sponge

The combination of Spring Sponge X and the newly-developed top sheet enables racket movement in a more forward direction and imparts more power onto the ball.

Dignics 05 enables the “banana-flick” with heavy topspin as well as counter-attacking play close to the table, “80” supports an all-round play at a higher level, while “64” aides the most powerful topspin against topspin play from mid-distance.

Expand your possibilities in the game with three variations of Dignics.

Spring Sponge – More than a decade of research has led to the latest sponge technology created by the engineers at Butterfly, Spring Sponge. The most notable feature of this new technology is a sense of “catching” the ball, a phenomenon not present in any other rubbers currently available on the market. The secret to Spring Sponge is the unique material composition and air inside the sponge; it expands and contracts just like a spring! Spring Sponge will make you feel in total control.

Spring Sponge X – It is easier to deform than the conventional “spring sponge” and has improved resilience. With this big evolution, we realize a sense of “gripping” the ball further. Draw more arcs and enable powerful batting. The weight has also been reduced by about 3%.

High Tension – Top athletes rely on its technology. Incorporating tension in the sponge, the rubber surface, or combined in both High Tension stands for a modern table tennis characterized by lots of feel, spin variations and fierce dynamics. Intensive research made possible a broad selection of high powered rubbers which comply with the highest quality standards:
• The optimized surface remains adhesive without a protective film, like all our rubbers.
• If the rubber is exposed to oxygen it does not cause stains on the surface.
• Both rubbers are more resistant to blistering and cracks despite their high tension.
• The tension is evenly balanced thus there will not be any deformation of 
the rubber.

Micro Layer – Micro layer The seat base is designed to be thin enough to be visible to the naked eye, which can increase the “chance” that occurs on impact and produce a strong rotation.

Super ZL Carbon has gone beyond the present fibrous materials and stepped forward into the new territory. The remarkable reaction and control provided by the expanded high-reaction area has taken the blade to the next stage. Super ZL-Carbon is an evolved new material Butterfly introduces to the world with confidence.

ZL Carbon is a woven combination of carbon fiber and ZL fiber; carbon fiber has a high reaction level and the ZL Fiber provides strength, elasticity, and lightness. ZL Carbon, the super fiber, gives the blade a high level of performance.

ZL Fiber has a detailed molecular configuration that is strong and elastic. Its ratio is 10% lower than carbon fiber, thus making the blade both light and with a high performance level.

Arylate-Carbon is a special material created with a woven combination of Arylate and carbon. Blades using Arylate-Carbon have power, speed and control.

TAMCA 5000 carbon is strong and light; six times stronger and one fifth in weight compared with iron and steel. Blades using TAMCA 5000 are light and strong with high elasticity and enable high performance.

CA Fiber is a special material that uses wood-derived fibers. As it is a very flexible material, it has good ball holding and excellent control performance. In addition, the tensile strength is high and sufficient elasticity is obtained.
