This is a Butterfly Favorite.  One of the strongest players through the Dusseldorf Masters Series was Egypt’s Omar Assar.  The World’s No. 38 has an athletic and exciting style – amazing court coverage and long strokes create crowd-pleasing shots and great angles.  The video is one of his signature matches, overcoming the Series champion Dang Qiu in this Series VI Semifinal.

Assar uses a customized Butterfly inner fiber carbon blade that bears his name (OMAR ASSAR BLADE), and (very similar to the ALC Innerforce Blade) and Tenergy 05.
