Butterfly Fukuhara Ai Pro ZLF

Despite of being the personal blade of a female player, this blade is suitable for many players. Most important characterictics of the blade is the springiness, which makes you feel the amount of the power in your strokes. There is no carbon in the blade, which means that it is less rigid, but not as elastic as a thin allwood blade. To be staight, this is a dynamic OFF- looping blade with enough flat hitting power, just look at some videos of Ai-chan playing. While the ball is making contact with the blade, the blade blends gently and springs back. This effect if strenghtened by the artificial zylon fibers. The blade has a nice woody feel, the spring effect in the blade gives a sensational feeling. It helps you to time your strokes better and tells you if you missed the contact or the force. It also has a positive effect on the spin game. Weight is around 85 gramms. I kindly recommend this blade to allwood blade lovers who want more stability while playing an aggressive allround or an offensive game with decent control and feeling. A bit overpriced to be honest... as usual...

One of the best blades I've played. Top spin with MXP is killer. You have to play harder rubbers. The ball quickly runs off the table with a big spin. Very good control block to chop. SPEDD 8.4!!!

Great blade for players focused on spin. A bit flexy and medium soft. Feels a bit slow at first but it has very nice kick/catapult when you put some power. Highish throw and you get high arc when looping. Flat hitting is not it's forte but short game and blocking is very good.

This is Buttefly's most beautiful blade - aesthetically and functionally. I love the control that this blade has. I've sworn off Tenergy to be too hard to control but with this blade T05 becomes an unstoppable combination. I love the touch that it provides and of course spring spin and control. The best blades will always have a nice balance of vibration and stability. This is my new favorite blade!
