About this product
₩45,000 — the cheapest Butterfly blade here. Five-ply at 5.6mm, reaction 10.0 (43rd), vibration 8.2.
43rd is low, but it fits the job. A thin all-wood blade at 5.6mm flexes a long way and holds the ball; hit hard and it will not fly, which lets you practise a full swing without fear of sending it long.
Vibration of 8.2 is low and the contact is soft — a real advantage for a beginner’s wrist and elbow.
You will outgrow it. That is the role of this price point, not a fault, and it is the reason a first blade does not need to be expensive.
What the numbers say
5-ply 5.6mm. Its reaction of 6.7 ranks 44 of 46 blades, among the lowest. It is on the more flexible side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
