The Way of the Butterflies

Yes, i think so.

32. Butterfly Power-9

Weight: 87 Gramms Sized:15,3/14,9cm
With old font on straightened and flatened lense and blades head, no serial and without old tag.
If the Power7 is lacking power for your play, try the Power9. Its blade dimensions are small, but with standart butterfly size i guess the Power9 would have been become too heavy. Not only Stiga was able to produce nice 9-ply-woods in the past... The Power-9 was only produced with FL Handle. I think it was made with 5 plies Abachi, 2 plies Limba and 2 plies of Rosewood.

The Perdir is relativly unknown, i do not think it was very sucessful in sales since there are not many informations about the Perdir available. I guess the history of it has been forgotten... Maybe some members still remember the Perdir and are able to say something about it ...

35. Butterfly Euro-5Weight: 80 Gramms Sized:15,5/14,6cm

36. Grubba All+

38. Butterfly Grubba All+ (EU)Here the EU Version. Compared with the old Versions the EU Version is very light. The used colors have changed, too....If you use the old one and the EU-Version there is a huge difference

40. Butterfly Clearfield

Weight: 92 Gramms Sized: 15,7/15,2cm
a 7-ply-woodwith Koto Outers coming with old tag was released in 1992. The Clearfield is a very stiff blade and hard blade. Chen Jing that won the Olympic Games 1988 in Seoul was using the Clearfield for close to the table Play. Later she was joining Lübeck to Play in the German League. I do not think it is a good blade for loopers, but very good Players seem to be able to handle the Clearfield even for Looping...for most Players it is just a good blade for playing strokes with short pips...Looking at the lines on the handle the style is similar to a T5000er blade that has also some lines and a black lense... I think Zhu Yuling was using it in the final of Kuwait open 2014.The flared handle of the Clearfield is thicker than the Standard with the shape being across squared and rounded. Unique was that plies adjustment to the Center Ply were thicker than the Center ply. Blade thickness is usually about 6,9mm.

42. Butterfly Panic

Weight: 92 Gramms Sized: 15,6/14,8cm
Here the follower of the 1970ies Butterfly Panic Model member Magic-M was sharing at a former post.
A 5-ply-wood produced for allround play providing soft feeling and much control, perfect for playing modern defence with inverted and pimples out Rubbers. The Print on head says "light weighted" but i doubt that a 92 gramms blade can be called light...

44. Butterfly Madash

Weight: 86 Gramms Sized: 15,7/14,9cm
with straightened and flatened lense and old tag Madash is a
5-ply-allwood, rated OFF and providing medium feel. Bai Yang was using it as main blade in the past, a great blade for Looping from half-distance. Blade Composition should be:
Planchonello-Walnut-Balsa-Walnut-Planchonello
Schlager used the Madash when he captured the 1996 US Open Doubles Championship. I first read it has been released in the early 2000, but i guess it is much older due to the straightened lense. Refering to an old Asian catalogue i think it was made in the 1990ies, due to the new font on head after 1991 and mainly made with FL-handle, priced at 5000 Yen like the Adolescen..but I know there were only a few ST handles made...

Awesome collection, Timo. Thanks for sharing all these photos. 

47. Butterfly Allways

Weight: 82 Gramms Sized: 15,7/15,1cm
with New Logo Butterfly Sticker
After Blaszcyk left Butterfly and went to Tibhar Butterfly decided to change the Name of his model. So the Allways was Born...
Strange, since the Allways is rated ALL and not Off but has the same handle like the Struse series and less thickness
