Butterfly Challenger Attack features a specially designed short pimple structure that allows it to generate more spin than most traditional short pimple rubbers. The shape and arrangement of the pimples ensure strong ball grip, enabling tricky trajectories, especially during topspins, serves, and pushes. The 35-degree sponge is slightly softer than Tenergy rubbers, offering a pleasant and controlled hitting feel. This quality allows players to precisely manage the ball, especially in technical shots like blocks, short passes, or accurate attacks where ball placement is key.

Challenger Attack is targeted at players who value speed and spin variation typical of short pimple rubbers. With a speed rating of 36, it allows for fast, direct hits like smashes, counter-attacks, or quick topspins that pressure opponents and reduce their reaction time. Its spin score (43) is higher than most short pimples, allowing for strong spin that’s effective for tricky serves and topspins. The ball trajectory rating (57) is moderately curved, striking a balance between speed and control, making it suitable for high-speed offensive play near the table and controlled shots from close or mid-distance. The soft sponge enhances control, letting players direct the ball accurately even during intense rallies.

Butterfly Challenger Attack is a versatile rubber suitable for various play styles and levels – from beginners to advanced players. Its outward-facing pimples offer an advantage to those who like to mix fast offensive shots with controlled blocks or pushes. The rubber is especially effective near the table, where quick hits and fast counter-attacks are essential, but it also performs well with close-range topspins. Thanks to its ability to generate strong spin, Challenger Attack helps players create tricky trajectories that complicate the opponent’s return shots. It’s an excellent option for those who want the benefits of short pimples with more spin and control than traditional variants offer.

Challenger Attack features short pimples and a soft 35-degree sponge that balances speed, spin, and control. The pimple surface is optimized for strong grip and intense spin, while the sponge’s elasticity offers a pleasant feel and easy handling. It comes in various sponge thicknesses to fit different play styles. Thinner sponge (e.g., 1.7 mm) is ideal for better control and technical play, while thicker sponge (e.g., 2.1 mm) suits faster, attacking shots. Available in red and black, the rubber meets ITTF standards. Since the rubber is delicate, it's recommended to use a protective film after play to prevent surface damage.

Challenger Attack pairs best with blades that complement its speed, spin, and control. Butterfly recommends combining it with blades like Petr Korbel, SK Carbon, Hadraw SK, Mazunov, or other Butterfly blades that enhance its dynamic performance and versatility. For example:

• Petr Korbel: An all-wood OFF blade that balances speed and control, ideal for all-round attacking.

• SK Carbon: A composite blade offering added speed and stability for fast shots.

• Hadraw SK: A fast blade boosting the rubber's offensive potential.

• Mazunov: A stiff blade suited for powerful shots with strong spin.

When gluing the rubber onto the blade, it’s recommended to use Butterfly Free Chack glue to ensure firm and even adhesion. These combinations allow players to build a racket that matches their personal style, giving them an edge in both offense and controlled play.

Made in Japan, Butterfly Challenger Attack meets the highest quality standards and is ITTF approved for official competition. Its features cater to players aiming to combine speed, spin, and control – especially those who appreciate the variation short pimples offer. It’s especially suited for close-to-the-table play involving quick hits, blocks, or counter-attacks, as well as those looking to add spin to their offensive arsenal. Challenger Attack allows for adaptable play, helping players respond to various opponent styles with confidence and precision.
