Butterfly Ovtcharov Gold Table Tennis Racket (Flared Handle, Wakaba Rubbers)

Every developing player eventually hits a wall: their first racket lacks the speed and spin to execute aggressive strokes, yet pro-level blades are too demanding. The Butterfly Ovtcharov Gold bridges that gap with a 5-ply wood blade and Wakaba rubbers that reward full swings without punishing slight mis-hits.

Who is it for

Advanced beginners and intermediate shakehand players who want to transition from passive blocking to all-round offensive play. It suits those who train regularly and need a reliable, ITTF-approved setup for club matches and tournaments.

Main features

• Pre-assembled racket endorsed by Dimitrij Ovtcharov, ready to use out of the box.
• 5-ply wood blade offers a balanced feel—enough flex for spin, enough stiffness for pace.
• Butterfly Wakaba rubbers on both sides (red forehand, black backhand) with 1.8 mm sponge for controlled aggression.
• Flared handle (FL) fits comfortably in a shakehand grip, reducing fatigue during long sessions.
• Speed rating 90, spin rating 90, control rating 80 on Butterfly's scale—ideal for all-round offensive styles.
