The butterfly tempest is a nice rubber for an alrounder our an attacker who likes to hit the ball.
Its perfect for that, although the sponge is pretty soft,
Blocking and pushing is also no problem at all with the tempest because itis a very controllable rubber.
It has a low throw and powerloops can be done very easy and will not go to far because of the low throw angle.
A nice rubber for the BH in my opinion our for an alrounder ,our looper on the FH .for fast attackers its a little to slow think because it lacks some speed.
