What This Product Is Used For

Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In real world play, the Butterfly Ovtcharov Striker is designed for the spin oriented offensive player who wants to build their game through a wide range of striking variants. The extremely grippy sticky LAGNUS pads are made to support maximum rotation, while the 2.0 mm sponge adds a performance focused feel for attacking table tennis.
