    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as having equivalent performance to Viscaria and Timobor ALC with superior design and cost performance. The balance of high speed and spin characteristic of the outer ALC material receives overwhelming support from attacking players with solid fundamentals.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Same performance as Viscaria at lower price
    • High speed and stability of outer ALC
    • Excellent backhand drive power
    • Requires practice and skill for beginners
    • Excellent compatibility with hard rubbers like Dignics
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt has a ball-gripping shock absorption sensation and provides good spin despite strong elasticity. It makes powerful and speedy play easy from the front court, allowing you to hit backhand shots like Lin Gaoyuan.
    ▽ CriticalThe hard blade makes it difficult to land drives with hard rubbers like Dignics 80, requiring careful rubber selection. It requires adjustment for first-time carbon users and is not recommended for beginners.

      Small fish savage (Experience: 4〜5 years) The strongest

      Player reviews

      I used to play with an all-round type blade, but
      ever since switching to this one, my backhand improved dramatically.
      When I consciously try to add spin, I get a ton of spin.
      My drives land well too.
      That said, the short game takes a bit of a knack — if your technique is half-hearted, the ball comes out flat with no spin.

      Utan (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy-to-use outer ALC

      Player reviews

      <My impressions after using it>
      This is Butterfly's popular outer ALC blade construction.
      It's an outer carbon blade, but
      it can still generate a decent amount of spin.
      I used the same rubber combo as Lin (player), and
      close-to-the-table plays like chiquita and counters
      were very easy to pull off.
      <Players I'd recommend this blade to>
      - Players with solid fundamentals who want to raise their aggressiveness
      (- Beginners who want to show off)

      The best blade of my life!
      Perfect in every way — speed, spin, control, nothing is lacking.
      My skill improved after switching blades.

      Table tennis club (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use

      Player reviews

      Easy to use. It's also easy to get spin on, and I can hit powerful drives even from away from the table.

      Impact pride (Experience: 4〜5 years) Viscaria?

      Player reviews

      This is a friend's blade I borrowed, but it feels similar to the Viscaria.
      Since it's an outer blade, I expected the ball to leave the racket quickly, but surprisingly it holds the ball well and gets decent spin for an outer blade. That said, I don't think it's great for handling backspin. I mix speed drives and loop drives when I play — my speed drives tend to go long, and my loop drives don't quite get enough spin. I had Hurricane rubber on it, and the spin was surprisingly less than expected, so I still can't get to like outer blades. If I were to use an outer blade, I'd prefer one with acoustic carbon instead.

      Toad frog hitting (Experience: 6〜10 years) This is quite something...

      Player reviews

      The speed leaves nothing to complain about.
      If you're used to an inner-carbon racket or a pure wood blade, spin might be a bit harder to put on the ball...
      But! I used to use an inner-carbon racket myself!
      And now it's really easy to put spin on!
      It's easy to use both close to the table and away from it (^-^)
      Forehand flicks take some feel to get right
      Chiquitas and over-the-table backhand drives get strong spin and go in deep!
      I was told backhand blocks are pretty hard to do with it .°(ಗдಗ。)°.
      Personally it feels really hard, so rock-hard rubbers (Chinese rubber or hard-sponge rubbers) need a good amount of skill (⁎⁍̴̆Ɛ⁍̴̆⁎)
      I don't think you'll regret buying it.

      mitea (Experience: 2〜3 years) Way too good lol

      Player reviews

      It's so good lol lol,
      as someone who loves Lin Gaoyuan and plays mainly backhand,
      I'm really happy with it!!
      I was using an inner ZLF before so it took a while to get used to,
      but once you're used to it, it's yours www

      I still haven't decided on the rubber,
      but if you can afford it, I think Dignics would be a great choice!!
