Butterfly Primorac

The standard Primorac is a 5-ply all-wood blade, not an Arylate-Carbon model. Butterfly lists it at 5.5 mm thick with a 157 x 150 mm head, while Primorac Carbon is a separate product, according to the [Butterfly Global specification](https://www.butterfly-global.com/en/products/detail/30551.html).

It is an offensive shakehand blade with a relatively soft feel and a useful balance of speed and control. Butterfly lists a reaction property of 9.7 and a vibration property of 7.6, and says the blade can suit different styles depending on the rubbers used.

The blade is named after Zoran Primorac, the Croatian table tennis player. Primorac reached number 2 in the ITTF world ranking in 1998 and competed at seven Olympic Games, according to biographical records.

The standard Primorac uses 5-ply wood, while Primorac Carbon uses 3 plies of wood plus 2 Tamca 5000 carbon layers. Butterfly lists Primorac Carbon at 7.0 mm thick with reaction 12.5 and vibration 13.3, making it a much faster, harder model, according to the [Butterfly blade specifications](https://www.butterflyonline.com/butterfly-blade-specifications/).
