Butterfly Super Anti – High-Quality Anti-Spin Rubber for Disruptive Play
Butterfly Super Anti is a high-quality anti-spin table tennis rubber designed to neutralize the opponent’s spin and create confusion in their game. Unlike standard high-friction rubbers, Super Anti features extremely low friction and a soft sponge, allowing players to return slow, spinless balls that disrupt the opponent. This rubber is an ideal choice for players using combination rackets, pairing it with a fast, spinny rubber on the other side to create contrast and destabilize the opponent. Made in Japan and ITTF approved, Super Anti suits advanced players skilled in the twiddling technique, and those seeking control and deceptive play—especially effective with 40+ plastic balls.

Butterfly Super Anti stands out with its unique construction, emphasizing anti-spin properties:
• Sponge (25°): The extremely soft sponge (25° on Butterfly scale, approx. 20–25° on the ESN scale) is highly flexible and absorbs the opponent’s shot energy. It reduces bounce, returns slow balls, and neutralizes spin. Compared to Sriver FX (33°), Super Anti's sponge is much softer, offering minimal rebound and maximum spin dampening—ideal for blocking and chopping.
• Almost frictionless topsheet: The topsheet is ultra-slick with minimal grip, designed to produce no-spin balls. It neutralizes topspin and backspin, returning “dead” balls that break the opponent’s rhythm. Compared to regular rubbers like Rozena, Super Anti generates almost no spin but enables deceptive shots that mimic spin. The topsheet is durable and wear-resistant.
• Pip geometry: Short, densely packed inward pips enhance stability (5/10) and variation (7/10). Their structure supports easy blocking, chopping, and short strokes that neutralize spin. Compared to the Sriver series, Super Anti’s pips are less aggressive and focused on spin cancellation rather than generation.
• No High Tension technology: Super Anti does not use High Tension technology, meaning its performance depends on the player's technique and blade choice. This allows full control over the nature of each shot, creating deceptive, spinless balls.
Available sponge thicknesses:
• 1.3 mm – for maximum spin dampening
• 1.5 mm – for balanced play
• 1.9 mm – for slightly more aggressive blocking and offense
The rubber is lightweight (uncut ~55 g, cut ~35–40 g), lighter than the Sriver series. Colors meet ITTF standards. Butterfly recommends using Free Chack glue for attachment.
Technical Profile for Deceptive and Controlled Play:
• Speed (4.3/10): Very slow, returns slow balls that disrupt rhythm. Compared to Sriver (speed 38/100) or Rozena (83/100), Super Anti is significantly slower, focusing on spin neutralization rather than offense.
• Spin (2.4/10): Generates almost no spin, returns no-spin or “dead” balls. With proper technique, some spin reversal is possible. Compared to Sriver FX (15/100 spin), Super Anti’s spin rating is much lower, favoring deceptive play.
• Control (5.7/10): Offers good control for blocking, chopping, and short strokes but requires technique to fully exploit its deceptive potential. Slightly lower control than Sriver EL (~8.5/10) due to slick surface but very effective for spin cancellation.
• Stability (5/10): Provides consistent ball return during blocks and chops, especially at the table.
• Variation (7/10): High potential for shot variation, enabling deceptive, spinless returns that unsettle the opponent.
Trajectory: Low and straight—ideal for blocks, chops, and short strokes at the table. Lower trajectory than Sriver EL (39/100), enhancing precision but limiting loop potential. Users highlight its “deceptiveness,” “slowness,” and “spin neutralization,” especially for blocking and returning serves.
Best Used in Combination Bats with Offensive Rubbers:
• Butterfly Innerforce Layer ALC – Offers speed and stability, supports deceptive play.
• Butterfly Boll Allround – Balances control, ideal for all-round players.
• Butterfly Innershield Layer ZLF – Maximizes control, suitable for defense.
• Butterfly Petr Korbel – Adds feel, great for developing technique.
It also pairs well with hard wooden blades like Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, where the soft sponge absorbs energy and the hard blade adds blocking stability. Recommended for backhand side use with 1.5 mm or 1.9 mm sponge to neutralize spin and block—combined with Tenergy 05 or Rozena on the forehand for contrast.
Designed for Players Seeking Deceptive, Controlled Play:
• Advanced players using twiddling to confuse opponents by switching sides mid-play.
• Defensive and all-round players focused on blocks, chops, and spin neutralization.
• Close-to-table gameplay – effective for blocking, serve returns, short and knuckle shots.
• Deceptive strokes – cancels opponent spin, returns no-spin balls to disrupt rhythm.
• Serve returns – especially effective at handling spin-heavy serves due to slick surface.
Performance Highlights:
• Blocking: 8.5/10 – high spin neutralization and stability
• Chopping: 8.0/10 – creates deceptive, spinless balls
• Short game: 7.5/10 – precision in short returns
• Serve returns: 8.7/10 – neutralizes spin and facilitates counters
Compared to Yasaka Anti Power, Super Anti is slower but offers more variation. Users praise its “deception,” “neutralization,” and “control,” especially in combination blades.
Butterfly Super Anti – A Classic, Deceptive Anti-Spin Rubber:
• Speed: 4.3/10 – very slow, disturbs opponent rhythm
• Spin: 2.4/10 – minimal, returns no-spin balls
• Control: 5.7/10 – high for blocks and chops
• Soft sponge: absorbs energy, dampens spin
• Slick topsheet: deceptive, spinless returns
• Japanese quality: ITTF approved, durable
Compared to Nittaku Best Anti, Super Anti is slower and more deceptive. Compared to Yasaka Anti Power, it offers more variation but less speed. Users emphasize its “deception,” “slowness,” and “reliability,” especially in combination setups.
Butterfly Super Anti is ITTF approved and competition-ready—especially for players who use combination blades and deception-focused strategies.
