I presently hold an old Butterfly Hanoki (made in Japan) and have Tenergy 25 and Bryce rubbers on forehand and backhand respectively. As you know these too are old rubbers and now are completely dead. I let them be for so long just because they fit my offensive style just well. What new rubber setup can I now install so as to keep the same strokeplay?

Hi Huzefa,
The first thing to think about is do you need a change of rubber or should you just get new rubbers exactly the same. If there is a reason to change then change, but don't just change because there may be something new out there.

The rubbers are old and have lost the spin and juice. So needed some options of equivalent rubbers to Tenergy 25 and Bryce. The topspins and short spin serves are not produced that effectively now.

I would just get new Tenergy 25 and Bryce.

I too wish the same sir, but they both are out of production. Their parent companies do not manufacture them anymore.

I disagree,Huzefa.
Both rubbers are purchasable in our local shop,which is in direct contact with Butterfly company.
Since you are not from my country,it would be harder to find. Though there are also online sites which still sell these rubbers.
You can tell me which country are you from and I can try to identify your local seller which sells these rubbers.
OR yo ucan use Butterfly's original e-shop,which denies that they do not make the rubbers.

I am from India. Would really appreciate your helping hand on this one as a new setup might need rebooting on many levels.

This is apparently the page of local seller in India. For some reason it sells only a fraction of Butterfly rubbers available now.
Now I understand why you thought that the rubbers are discontinued.
Here you have contact information of the seller,maybe they can order it for you:

I have partly tried to go through the purchasing process from links I published before. Unfortunately,India is not on the list.
I would probably try to send a mail to online-store@butterfly.tt. They will advise you best how to buy the wanted rubbers.
India is a large country. If you live somewhere near the borders,maybe you could also try to use local seller of neighboring country if they ship to India.
Also,this store seems to ship to India:

They do not have the original Bryce (as this is really OLD rubber),but they have its successor:
