Butterfly Ilius B

The Butterfly Ilius B is a long pips table tennis rubber engineered for players seeking controlled variation, disruptive play, and versatile offensive-defensive capabilities. It features Butterfly’s innovative Absorber Sponge Drop technology paired with a hard long-pimpled topsheet, designed to maximize the unique effects of long pimples while maintaining stability and response. Ilius B excels in short strokes over the table such as chop-blocks, push blocks, and low penetrating returns, making it ideal for players who want both tactical defense and opportunistic attacking options.

The rubber’s pimple structure uses the highest aspect ratio permitted under ITTF rules to enhance its disruptive and variation potential, while the Absorber Sponge Drop helps absorb incoming ball energy even on hard impacts, improving control and consistency. Compared with traditional long pips, Ilius B offers a balanced response that allows players to mix defensive control with sudden changes of pace and trajectory, especially in close-to-the-table play.
