Butterfly Aibiss (new rubber)

I had first try with robot yesterday.  I'm comparing aibiss to fastarc g1 that i used the last two years, and t05/80 before.  This is on fh, I have short pips bh.  Blade is acoustic carbon outer.

You are right, most people will not like aibiss because it is so slow.  It plays just like bty says, spin of t80 with the speed of sriver.  High arc and low speed makes it really safe over net and on table.  But unless people buy wecs-gzlc blades i can't see it being popular with speed demons.

Aibiss is terrible for flat hitting.  Stupid easy to counter topspin close to the table and to receive short.  All what you would expect.  2.1 weighs 5gm more than g1.  I will buy 1.9 next time for the weight.  

Off one practice I like aibiss.  Not quite ready to sell my unopened g1s yet.  But my priority is landing many balls on the table with spin and placement.   Playing faster only gets me beat by my own pace as often as it wins.  Whereas making more opening loops and keeping  more receives short is just free points.

In a lot of ways Aibiss is like the rubber equivalent of a five-ply all wood blade.  It is not made to play from far.    You definitely give up some highlight reel potential.  And there is no magic in the rubber to cover up some faults like t05 or d05 can do.  But aibiss may help you to put the ball on the table one more time than the other guy.  

Since my h3 neo comm sheet has been boosted already few times and used for a while I’m going to compare the two.
