Diode V
A more elastic ply construction than conventional chopping blades, suited to defensive play built around attacking.
💡 Who this suits
Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a soft feel that makes it easy to control.
About this product
Five-ply at 5.7mm. Reaction 10.6, vibration 7.9.
That vibration figure is among the lowest here (setting aside Innershield at 4.9). It is unusually low relative to reaction of 10.6 — ordinary power, exceptionally quiet contact.
What that combination means in practice is that mistakes do not hurt. Off-centre contact does not spike the shock, which is comfortable while your contact point is still inconsistent.
₩90,000. The same money buys more powerful blades, but if your arm needs looking after or you value a soft feel, this position is hard to replace.
What the numbers say

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.
