Table Tennis Racket Butterfly Marcos Freitas MFX4 – professional player's blade by Butterfly

Butterfly Marcos Freitas MFX4 is a professional player's blade engineered for offensive play with control. Designed in collaboration with Marcos Freitas, the MFX4 blade combines a responsive wood core with a balanced construction to deliver consistent ball feel, stable trajectories and sufficient speed for aggressive topspin and drive strokes. It serves as a foundation for custom rubber choices, allowing players to adjust spin and pace to their tactical needs for training, club matches and competition.

Advantages

The MFX4 blade provides a refined touch that supports precision in placement and short-game control while offering enough dynamic response for loop and drive techniques. Its balanced construction reduces vibration and improves feedback on ball contact, helping players sense dwell time and adjust racket angle. The blade's versatility makes it suitable for players seeking a combine of control and offensive potential without extreme speed characteristics.

Suitable for

• Club players developing topspin and counterloop techniques
• League and tournament players who build custom racket setups
• Training sessions focused on accuracy, placement and drive consistency

Key specifications

• Playing style: offensive with control focus
• Construction: multi-ply wood composite for balanced feel
• Touch: refined ball contact for improved placement
• Speed level: moderate to high suitable for aggressive loops and drives
• Feedback: enhanced vibration damping for stable trajectories

How to use

Select rubbers that match your desired balance of spin and speed and mount them on the MFX4 blade according to standard gluing procedures. Use the blade for drills that emphasize topspin, serve-return combinations and opening drives to exploit its touch and response. During play, adjust stroke timing and racket angle to make use of the blade's dwell characteristics; practice short pushes and controlled third-ball attacks to build consistency.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the MFX4 blade with rubbers that complement its control-oriented nature—medium-hard sponges for extra speed or tacky/soft rubbers for enhanced spin. Regularly check glue bonding and edge protection, and break in new rubber combinations in training before tournament use.
