The blade and rubber combination used by the 2003 World Champion, Werner Schlager from Austria. The Schlager Carbon is a five-ply racket with a thick Balsa center core followed by two layers of Carbon and topped off with Hinoki outer plies. Complete with Bryce High Tension 2.1mm rubber which has quickly become Butterfly’s best-seller since its introduction in the early 90’s. We highly recommend this combination if you consider yourself playing style #2, a Power-Looper. It doesn't get much faster than this!

Carbon fiber layers will add more speed to a racket and it will also increase the size of the sweet-spot, making the racket more consistent. Carbon also acts as a reinforcing layer which will strengthen the racket. Due to this, most Carbon blades have a ‘hard’ feel which are ideal for hitters and power play.
High Tension rubbers have tension built in to the sponge and top-sheet. This helps reduce the amount of energy lost at the point of impact. In essence, it turns the speed of your opponents shot into additional power for you. In short, High Tension rubbers are fast, VERY FAST. The first such rubber was Bryce, introduced in 1997. It is by far the most widely used rubber among Butterfly’s sponsored players including the 2003 World Champion, Werner Schlager(AUT). |
