The news has been spreading on Chinese forums for a few days.
Butterfly China has finally made a press release. Starting Jul. 16, 2018, the MSRP for Rozena will be adjusted down from ¥390 to ¥190 in China, and from $390 to $245 in Hong Kong. Any news for the rest of the world?

We don't use Butterfly products anymore. Other brands are better and less expensive

Wow that’s very cheap for that kind of rubber. That would make me try it out.

If this is true i would consider to purchase BTY again after many years. Tenergy would be also a great deal at 250¥...

Hmm if rozena drops to $30-35 here, it will be really popular amongst the tenergy users.

Probably Rozena is not selling the way Bty expected. So price drops

I once heard Rozena described as a 'gateway drug' to Tenergy, if we could buy it in the UK for £23.99 a sheet then I am pretty sure it would become just that
 .As a long term user of MX-P who loves the performance but hates the speed of drop off in performance of ESN rubbers, I would find it hard to ignore the proposition of two Rozenas for £48 (I would have to use edge tape to cover the pink sponge though  ).If everyone was on Rozena, you never know we might all get better quicker because most of us are currently addicted to equipment that in truth is probably above our actual level of play. Then, when we are good enough, guess what...we will go back to buying Tenergy at £54 a sheet

I've bought many fake t-shirts on the past and there's no prob about it, the owner was a former provincial player.

come on. 13 USD in 1980 is equal to ~40 USD now with inflation adjusted. so it's about same. and if you save a rubber and buy s&p 500 index in 1980, you money will be 20 times more. I wish you did.

Hmmm, still USD 51.99 on Megaspin and Butterflyonline. Hopefully, the folks in Wilson, NC got the memo. I'll be monitoring today.

It is still the same price on Butterfly Japan, and most of taobao sellers. I don't think that it is worldwide summer sale

There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

Yup, Chun Hing announced the change roughly 19 hours ago and Komann roughly 24 hours ago. China Star, as well. Basically all retailers in HK after 7/16. Edited by zeio - 07/17/2018 at 4:56am |

If Rozena price is cut to half, I will let all my students use it. Very good for beginners.

Yesterday ordered a pack of Evo on my local retailer who is one of the official BTY distributors in my county. They had no ideal about that the sale of Rozena.
Ironically, in the past they agreed to raise their prices in order to fix same prices everywhere and help their distributors, no matter where you get BTY would be same price, but now looks like they´re not interesed on stablish same price in Europe. Bunch of thieves. Edited by jonyer1980 - 07/18/2018 at 4:31am |

Help spread the news and pressure them to respond. Just to give them a hard time even if they don't give a damn. |

Rozena has been raking in tons of money for Butterfly in Japan. Their sales is back up to the 2010 level, the absolute peak before the global pricing policy went into effect.
