RB Protector III

The RB Protector III is a high-quality, performance-grade edge tape designed to protect the blade and rubber edges of your table tennis racket from wear, impact, and peeling. Made in Japan, this protector is crafted from PU-coated polyester, offering a soft yet durable finish that cushions the blade edge without adding noticeable weight or interfering with balance. The RB Protector III features a sleek design with printed Butterfly branding, enhancing both protection and aesthetics. It’s ideal for Malaysian players who regularly train or compete, especially in humid conditions where glue and rubber edges may deteriorate faster. Its strong adhesive backing ensures long-lasting hold with simple application.
