Freitas ALC

Marcos Freitas's playing model, using a slightly harder surface ply with Arylate-Carbon to support powerful two-winged attacks from mid-distance.

💡 Who this suits

Good reaction speed, well suited to attacking play, with a moderately crisp feel that works across a range of styles.

About this product

Reaction 11.4, vibration 10.8. Outer ALC at 6.0mm.

Reaction is identical to Outerforce ALC (11.4 / 10.4) with vibration 0.4 higher, at the same ₩164,000. There is effectively no performance difference to state between them; the real choice is grip and weight.

Slightly higher vibration means contact reads more distinctly in the hand. It is a small difference, but it may suit a player who adjusts by feel.

Arylate carbon is among the less aggressive carbons, which makes this a comfortable first carbon blade.

What the numbers say

Outer 5-ply + 2 Arylate-Carbon plies 6mm. Its reaction of 7.6 ranks 21 of 46 blades, mid-range. It is on the stiffer, less flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.

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.
