HT Protector

The Butterfly HT Protector is a precision-engineered edge tape created to protect your table tennis blade and rubber edges from chipping, peels, and wear—especially useful during fast rallies or travel. It’s crafted in Japan by Butterfly, featuring a strong self‑adhesive backing and flexible polyester/PU blend that cups the blade neatly without altering weight or swing. With a sleek matte black finish, the HT Protector helps maintain edge integrity and prolong the rubber’s life—valuable for players in Malaysia’s hot, humid climate.

Usage Instructions

4. Trim any excess neatly using scissors.

Precautions

• Single-use only—adhesive weakens if tape is removed and reapplied.

• Avoid over-stretching the strip during application; this may cause peeling.

• Keep unused tape in a cool, dry place to preserve adhesive strength.

• Not intended for extra-large custom blades or oversize rubber setups.
