More Information About Butterfly Schlager Carbon

Butterfly Schlager Carbon is one of the most popular and most successful for super offensive table tennis blade. The name Schlager is inspired by a very famous Austria table tennis player, “Warner Schlager“, who assists the Butterfly research team to develop this blade.

Even though it is quite heavy especially for an offensive blade (95 g), it offers you extremely fast speed (more speed and power than Butterfly Micahel Maze) while it is still controllable for a skilled player.

Like the legendary “Butterfly Sardius“, it is a very stiff blade (significantly stiffer than Butterfly Micahel Maze, and Timo Boll Spirit) which will offer you solid blocking performance. You can counter the ball with very fast and precise. In combination with Butterfly Tenergy 80, it allows you to smash like a boss.

Given the fact that this is a very stiff table tennis blade, it enables you to generate magnificent top spin drive with shorter dwell time even when paired with standard offensive table tennis rubbers like Tenergy 05.

In addition, you can generate fine topspin loop when pairing with soft spinny rubber like Nittaku Narucross Ex-Soft, or Donic Acuda S3. Due to its monstrous spin power, you can execute a decent loop against heavy backspin easily.

However, because of its relatively heavy weight, it is not suitable for close to table play style while it is more common for mid to long distance strategy. This blade is very unforgiving which means that it does not allow any technical mistakes. In other words, the user requires solid table tennis skill, proper technique, and also consistent stroke to hit the ball perfectly.

Overall Butterfly Schlager seems to be one of the best offensive table tennis blades for advanced players who have reasonably good controllability. It is highly recommended for advanced offensive players who come with a high budget (approx $135).

When you play the shot with the blade, you won’t feel any vibration. With a little bit of force, you can have a very good spin on the ball. The arc can be very short where you can make a shot that is just over the net.

With a little more force, the arc will be very long and slightly higher. If you want to do a powerful push, you have to press the blade very low, like that you can hit the ball once it touches on the table.

The effect of the hit is also extremely satisfying. You can easily play with topspin where you don’t have to use any force. You can use a little force to hit the ball and it will accurately return to the opponent’s table. You can also do very spinning serve with the blade by exert some power on your writst to twist the ball.

The price can be quite expensive but it is well worth for the price you pay to have this quality blade.
