Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5 Table Tennis Blade - Balsa Wood Blade with 2 Carbon Plies - Offensive Attacking Blade - Professional Butterfly Table Tennis Blade - Available in AN, FL, and ST handle styles

The Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5 blade is the best of both worlds. Utilizing a thick Balsa wood center ply in conjunction with 2 carbon plies, players are able to maintain exceptional touch without sacrificing too much power. The soft feel makes over-the-table play, especially blocking, effortless and effective. Since the balsa keeps the blade at a light 80 grams, you can still use heavier rubbers and not lose maneuverability. Pairing this blade with Butterfly Tenergy 80 FX is recommended for players looking to loop and block their way to victory. For players seeking something more direct, the flatter trajectory of Butterfly Impartial XS short pips will give your opponents fits. To increase the grip on this blade, you can add Soft Grip Tape, providing grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice to extend the longevity of your racket is adding side tape to the blade, protecting the wood in the event it is hit on the table.
