ButterflyThe distinctive punch of a 7-ply build

Korbel SK7

A 7-ply model that first launched in Europe and became popular there. It adds power while keeping excellent control.

💡 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

Seven-ply solid wood at 6.8mm. Reaction of 11.1 ranks 27th — high for a blade with no carbon at all.

Thickness is the answer. 6.8mm is thick by this list’s standards, and seven plies flex little and push the ball away. Ply count doing the job carbon does through material.

Vibration of 9.3 is low for that level of reaction. Wood spreads and absorbs shock rather than spiking like carbon, which means less strain over a long session.

₩82,000 — among the cheapest at this performance level, and the even feel of solid wood makes the value clear. This is the first place to send anyone who finds carbon too sharp.

What the numbers say

7-ply 6.8mm. Its reaction of 7.4 ranks 27 of 46 blades, mid-range. It is on the more 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.
