🏓 Ping Pong Friends (Part 11): The New Butterfly Zyre 03 Rubber — Power Meets Precision
Introduction
Butterfly has launched a new flagship rubber — Zyre 03 — attracting the attention of many table tennis players around the world.
In Richmond Hill, where our community players love fast, spin-oriented looping styles, Zyre 03 has already become a hot topic.
Let’s take a candid look at what this new generation of Butterfly rubber brings — its feel, strengths, weaknesses, and whether it’s worth trying for you.
1️⃣ What Is Zyre 03?
Zyre 03 is Butterfly’s latest high-tension inverted rubber, designed with two new technologies:
-
Ricosheet: a refined top sheet with denser, lower pimples that improve spin stability.
-
Spring Sponge X (44°): a powerful yet elastic sponge that boosts speed and spin when fully engaged.
It’s intended to succeed the famous Dignics 05 and 09C, offering stronger catapult and a higher arc.
2️⃣ Playing Feel: First Impressions
Many advanced players who tried it say Zyre 03 feels solid and powerful.
When you hit with full commitment, the rubber “kicks” the ball forward with incredible energy and spin.
The trajectory is high and deep, making it ideal for mid-distance looping and counter-looping rallies.
However, because of its harder sponge, control in the short game (serves, flicks, and pushes) requires delicate touch and proper technique.
If your contact is not clean, the ball might go long or hit the net.
3️⃣ Strengths
✅ Exceptional spin and arc when loop-driving
✅ Powerful rebound and stability on fast topspin rallies
✅ Durable sponge that keeps its energy longer
✅ Great for aggressive forehand players with strong wrist and leg drive
4️⃣ Weaknesses
⚠️ Demands solid technique — not beginner-friendly
⚠️ Hard sponge feels “dead” on soft touch shots
⚠️ Less tacky than Dignics 09C, so spin on slow serves might be slightly lower
⚠️ Pricey — as a flagship Butterfly product, it’s among the most expensive
5️⃣ Best Player Match
Zyre 03 suits players who:
-
Love power looping and counter-looping from mid-distance
-
Already have experience with Dignics 05 or Tenergy 05
-
Prefer a rubber that rewards full swings and fast strokes
-
Are aggressive attackers seeking precision and punch
If your playing style is more controlled or defensive, Zyre 03 may feel too demanding.
6️⃣ Comparison with Dignics 05 & 09C
| Rubber | Feel | Spin | Speed | Control | Suitable Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dignics 09C | Tacky, grippy | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Spin loop, serve/receive control |
| Dignics 05 | Elastic, medium-hard | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | Loop-drive, mid-distance |
| Zyre 03 | Hard, dynamic | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | Power loop, counter-attack |
7️⃣ Cheaper Alternatives
If you like the Zyre 03 feel but prefer a lighter hit on the wallet, here are good options:
-
Tibhar Evolution MX-P – explosive and spinny, very similar performance.
-
Donic Acuda S2 – great balance of control and power.
-
Yasaka Rakza Z – sticky surface with good speed.
-
Xiom Omega VII Pro – tensor rubber with high spin and speed, mid-hard feel.
These can cost 30–50% less yet perform surprisingly close for most club-level players.
8️⃣ Final Thoughts
Zyre 03 is a bold step by Butterfly — a rubber that pushes the boundaries of spin and speed.
It’s not for everyone, but for those who enjoy an aggressive looping game, it delivers satisfaction on every clean hit.
For our Richmond Hill ping pong community, it might be the perfect upgrade for players seeking extra power and precision in competitive matches.

🏓 乒乓球朋友（第十一篇）：Butterfly Zyre 03 — 力量與精準的結合
前言
Butterfly 最新推出的旗艦膠皮 Zyre 03，成為乒乓圈熱議的焦點。
在列治文山這個乒乓球氣氛濃厚的社區，不少球友已經在討論這片新膠皮到底值不值得入手。
今天，我們就以真誠的角度，來看看這款 Zyre 03 的特性與實戰表現。
1️⃣ 什麼是 Zyre 03？
Zyre 03 是 Butterfly 新一代的 高張力反膠（High Tension Rubber）。
它結合了兩項新技術：
-
Ricosheet：全新結構的表層膠粒，增加旋轉穩定性。
-
Spring Sponge X (44 度)：強勁又具彈性的海綿，擊球時能爆發更高速度與旋轉。
它被視為 Dignics 05 與 09C 的進化版，具備更強的彈力與弧線。
2️⃣ 打球感覺
Zyre 03 給人的第一印象是：紮實、有力、爆發性強。
全力進攻時，球會「彈」出去，旋轉驚人、弧線高、落點深，非常適合中遠台拉球與相持。
但因海綿偏硬，**小球控制（發球、接發球、擰拉）**需要細膩手感與正確摩擦。
若動作不夠乾淨，容易下網或出界。
3️⃣ 優點
✅ 超強旋轉與弧線
✅ 中遠台拉球穩定性高
✅ 海綿壽命長、不易塌陷
✅ 適合積極進攻型選手
4️⃣ 缺點
⚠️ 技術要求高，新手不易駕馭
⚠️ 短球與推擋控制較難
⚠️ 表面不如 09C 那麼黏
⚠️ 售價偏高
5️⃣ 適合哪類球員
Zyre 03 適合：
-
喜歡 中遠台拉球與反拉 的進攻型球員
-
曾用過 Dignics 05 或 Tenergy 05 的中高級球友
-
擁有穩定摩擦與強力腰腿動作的拉球者
若你偏向控制或防守，Zyre 03 可能會感覺太「硬」。
6️⃣ 與 Dignics 05 與 09C 比較
| 膠皮 | 手感 | 旋轉 | 速度 | 控制 | 適合打法 |
|------|------|------|------|------|
| Dignics 09C | 黏性強、穩定 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 發球、旋轉拉球 |
| Dignics 05 | 彈性適中 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | 近中台快拉 |
| Zyre 03 | 硬實、爆發力強 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | 中遠台強攻、反拉 |
7️⃣ 平價替代品
如果覺得 Zyre 03 價格偏高，可以考慮以下替代：
-
Tibhar Evolution MX-P：旋轉強、速度快。
-
Donic Acuda S2：張力適中，控制穩定。
-
Yasaka Rakza Z：半黏性表層，性價比高。
-
Xiom Omega VII Pro：類似張力膠皮，打感扎實。
這些膠皮價格便宜 30–50%，但性能相當接近。
8️⃣ 總結
Butterfly Zyre 03 代表了日系膠皮的新方向：高旋轉、高速度、高精準。
它的確不容易上手，但對喜歡拉球、重視威力與弧線的球員來說，是一款值得嘗試的旗艦膠皮。
對我們列治文山的球友而言，這片膠皮或許能讓你的比賽更上一層樓！
