Ilius S

The Butterfly Ilius S is a long-pimpled defensive rubber engineered for players who thrive on spin variation and close-range control. It features Butterfly’s proprietary Absorber Sponge Heavy—a hard, energy-absorbing layer that keeps your shots stable even against aggressive opponents, whilst amplifying the unpredictable angles that long pips create.

What sets the Ilius S apart is the balance between control and effect. The pimple height and aspect ratio are set to the ITTF maximum to deliver maximum long-pip characteristics, yet the hard sponge absorbs incoming pace without forcing you to over-commit. This makes pushes and chop returns predictable to execute, whether facing heavy topspin or minimal spin setups. The top sheet is also significantly more durable than earlier long-pip models—ideal if you play competitive table tennis regularly.

Recommended for defensive specialists and choppers who want to dictate spin and trajectory rather than raw power. The Ilius S thrives in close rallies where subtle variation and stability matter more than outright speed.
