Diode Pro
An all-wood chopping blade with moderate elasticity, drawing out steady chops and powerful attacks in equal measure.
💡 Who this suits
Moderate reaction speed, suited to playing out longer rallies, with a soft feel that makes it easy to control.
About this product
Reaction of 9.6 ranks 44th, with vibration at 7.0. Setting aside Innershield (purely defensive), this has the lowest return on the list.
Five-ply solid wood at 5.5mm — thin with few plies, so it bends a long way. The ball stays on the face, leaving plenty of room to brush it, and the ceiling on power is correspondingly low.
Vibration of 7.0 is below even Diode V (7.9). The whole Diode line aims at a soft feel and the Pro is the far end of it. "Pro" in the name does not mean stronger.
₩95,000. A choice that pushes spin and control all the way, and the wrong one if you need a finishing ball.
What the numbers say
5-ply 5.5mm. Its reaction of 6.4 ranks 45 of 46 blades, among the lowest. It is on the more flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

Where this blade sits
Reaction and vibration figures Butterfly publishes for 46 of its blades (official 1–15 scale). Further right means more reaction; higher means more vibration. Neither axis is "better" — they describe character. Other brands use different scales and are not mixed in.
