Butterfly Hadraw 5
Blade description:
This is an all-wood 5-ply offensive blade designed for players who prioritize ball feedback and precision. It features Koto outer layers, which provide a crisp touch and a satisfying click sound during contact, paired with a Kiri inner core that enhances dwell time and overall control. The construction offers a firm and responsive feel that allows for accurate shot placement and high-quality spin generation.
Performance Characteristics
- Feel and Control: The blade is noted for its high level of tactile feedback, often described as a pure “woody” feel. Users find it highly intuitive for touch shots near the table and precise topspin loops.
- Speed and Power: While suitable for mid-distance topspin play, it is most effective in a controlled attacking style. It provides sufficient speed for aggression, though it lacks the explosive finishing power of composite blades or more offensive-oriented all-wood alternatives.
- Stability and Balance: The blade exhibits a slight head-balanced feel, which aids in stability during blocking and counter-hitting. Its weight distribution is generally considered comfortable, though performance can vary slightly based on the specific grammage of the blade.
- Versatility: This blade is well-suited for diverse playing styles, including aggressive close-to-the-table play, technical topspin, and even classic defensive strategies, such as when paired with long-pips rubbers.

Quite a lot of control with D09c and Rozena, but it lacked a bit of power to finish the points.

Control and slightly attacking playing style. Five carefully selected layers create a firm and responsive feel.
Koto outer layers provide a precise touch with the ball and a satisfying click sound. A Kiri inner core offers blade control and excellent ball dwell time.
This blade is suitable for aggressive topspin, strong smashes, and decent blocks. Its slight head-balancing provides stability. My version weighs 90g.
This blade is suitable for players with a fast attacking style, control, and versatility. It also looks very nice. Highly recommended.

Best blade I have ever used. The balance is perfect; it feels very light and offers insane control, even though it can produce a lot of power.
Blocks are out of this world. It’s a perfect blade from BTY.
