Butterfly Zyre-03 2.5mm OR 2.7mm? Detailed Analysis & Final Choice
The new Zyre-03 (Z03) just dropped — The user has been tested two sheets: black 2.7mm and red 2.5mm, mainly on a Viscaria. After cutting, weights were: whole black 69.26 g (cut 46.17 g) and whole red 66.47 g (cut ≈44.08 g). He is played several hours and here’s the short version: the Zyre-03 is crisp and extremely fast. Compared with Tenergy and Dignics it feels less “sinking” and more direct — closer to German DNA/Dignics vibes but with higher top speed. Spin is average; the rubber’s biggest asset is instant, explosive power that pressures opponents mid-swing — so your stroke should be compact and snappy, not big arm swings.
Short-game notes: 2.7mm can be unstable for pushes because the thin topsheet lets the sponge engage and send the ball long; 2.5mm is more stable and very comfortable on backhand. It suits compact forearm/upper-arm styles (think Harimoto / Lin Gaoyuan) and performs best on stiffer blades like Viscaria — not ideal on very soft, highly flexible blades. Retail lists at ~ $120; He found it for ~$83, quite expensive!
Overall: excellent for pure fast attackers — He is keeping the 2.5 for backhand and would recommend 2.7 for penhold forehand users.
