How to pick from Butterfly's NEW Medieval Rackets

Butterfly has introduced a brand new racket series. These rackets are referred to as the Medieval series. AKA go medieval on your opponents. The rackets are named after weapons of old and are made in Shakehand, Penhold, and Japanese Penhold. The Speed, Spin, and Control ratings are only geparable to other rackets in Butterfly's Medieval series. For instance, you cannot gepare the speed, spin, and control ratings of Stiga's rackets to these rackets. Also, geparing these rackets to other Butterfly Series or Martin Kilpatrick rackets will not give an appropriate geparison. Finally, on to the rackets. We will Start with the Shakehand rackets. These rackets have flared handles and rubber on both sides of the racket. Flail: This racket is the starter racket in this series. The Speed is 75, the Spin is 50, and the Control is 100. This is a great racket for beginners, someone who wants a slower racket, or someone who has trouble returning spinny serves and shots. The rubber is a Japanese rubber called Addoy, and the thickness of the sponge is 1.5mm. The handle is a flared handle. Baselard: This is another racket toward the beginner side. The Speed is 80, the Spin 60, Control 90. The rubber is Japanese Morim Rubber with a 1.5mm Sponge. Ranseur: This racket is getting a little more toward the all around rackets. The sponge is a thicker 1.8mm, and the rubber is Pan Asia Rubber. The thicker sponge allows for more speed, and a little more time on the rubber to add spin. The speed is 85, spin 70, and control 80. Spatha: The Spatha racket is also a 1.8mm sponge racket, and has Wakaba Japanese rubber. The speed is 90, the spin is 80, and the control is 70. This racket will play very similar to the Ranseur, but with a little more speed and spin. If you are trying to decide between the Ranseur, and the Spatha, you should consider how much spin you want to put on the ball. The Spatha has the ability to put more spin, and the Ranseur has that extra touch of control. Arbalest: The Arbalest has a much thicker 2.0mm sponge. The rubber is Stayer Japanese rubber. The speed is 95, the spin is 90, and the Control is 60. This is a big step up from the Spatha. The thicker sponge will give more speed and more time for the ball to stay on the sheet of rubber. Great for a more advanced recreation player looking for more spin and speed. Trebuchet: The main difference between the Arbalest and the Trebuchet is the sponge. You can see the difference. The Trebuchet is a much higher quality Japanese sponge and is white in color gepared to the Arbalest's yellow sponge. The rubber is Flextra, and the sponge thickness is 2.0mm. The speed is 100, spin is 100, and the control is 50. This is an advanced recreation racket for club and gepetition play. Great quality for the money. No matter which of these rackets you choose, you can know you are getting Butterfly quality at a great price.There are 3 penhold rackets in butterfly's new Medieval series. Jian: This racket is a Chinese penhold racket. THERE IS ONLY 1 SHEET OF RUBBER ON PENHOLD RACKETS. Speed is 55, the spin is 35, and the control is 100. This racket is geparable to the Flail in the shakehand series. The rubber is Addoy with 1.5mm sponge. Great beginner penhold racket. Yari: This racket is Japanese penhold. This means there is only 1 sheet of rubber and a large wooden handle. The rubber is Wakaba, and the sponge is 1.8mm thick. The speed is 80, the spin is 75, and the control is 75. This racket is geparable to the spatha racket in the shakehand series. Dao: This is the fastest and most spinny racket in the Penhold Medieval rackets. The Rubber is Flextra, and the sponge is 2.0mm White Japanese sponge. The speed is 100, spin 100, and control is 55. This racket is geparable to the Trebuchet in the Shakehand rackets.I hope this guide helps you pick your new racket. Look for us to be adding these rackets to BumperNets' okay Store in the following weeks.
